Abstract
Temporary protective grounding serves a critical safety function when working on electrical power systems. Although many field service personnel are well-familiar with the requirements of using temporary protective grounds, many others have only a partial understanding of important aspects of it. This paper reviews the more important aspects of the application of temporary protective grounds, including sizing, order of placement and removal, results of misapplication and common rules for working with temporary protective grounds.
