		For example, we have measured the ground resistance of steel pilings, for which the size and depth was known and have determined the average soil resistivity by modeling the configuration in the computer.
		The conventional FOP test configuration is to measure the voltage rise of the ground system with reference to a test probe that is progressively moved closer to the current return electrode, along a straight line between the two.
		For an ideal measurement where the ground electrode being measured is small compared with the distance to the current return electrode and the soil resistivity is completely uniform, the true resistance can be shown to be indicated at 61.8% of the distance along the traverse towards the current return electrode.

	washingtonpost.com: Ground War: Doing More With Less
		One is that U.S. ground forces are playing a central role in the campaign and have advanced at unprecedented rates -- a feat that stands in stark contrast to the sideline role played by land power in our two previous wars.
		U.S. ground forces have proven vital to rapid, strategic "preclusion" -- taking away options from the Iraqi regime, a key objective of the war's initial phase -- and to fighting with discrimination in cluttered battle spaces, the only ground on which the Iraqi forces have chosen to make their stand.
		Nonetheless, the decline in the stature of ground forces intensified with the unconventional and rapid overthrow of the Taliban and the pursuit of al Qaeda.

	[No title]
		The balanced power is generated from normal AC voltage by using an isolation transformer with centre-tapped 120V output and the centre-tap of the output is grounded.
		That expensive power balancing equipment is just a 1:1 mains power isolation transformer with a center tap to ground, so that you have two legs of AC which are 180' out of phase with respect to one another (with respect to ground), so that your ground currents cancel out.
		Power transformers don't need to be wideband, they don't need to have extremely low distortion, and they don't need to work on a wide variety of different voltages with extreme linearity.

	Preventing Isolated Ground Abuse
		Power quality experts cringe when they hear the words “isolated ground” because the consequences of a poorly designed or applied isolated ground system can be disastrous.
		Because this ground is not bonded to the receptacle mounting means, or yoke, the isolated ground won't pick up any noise at that point.
		This preferred power design ensures all computer system devices are on the same equipotential ground and get their power from the same source — UPS or utility power, but not both.

	Power Supply Design \| RF Design - power supply design for WiFi transceiver - power supply design
		Placing an uninterrupted ground plane on the second layer is imperative for establishing well-controlled impedances for the RF signal paths.
		After grounding arrangements are settled, it is important to route all signal ground returns to the solid ground plane in the shortest path possible.
		When the transmit output power and spectral mask performance is “linearity limited,” we are in a position to trade-off current for linearity and output power, which is the desired scenario.

	Howstuffworks "How Power Grids Work"
		The smaller transformers attached to the bus are stepping the power down to standard line voltage (usually 7,200 volts) for one set of lines, while power leaves in the other direction at the higher voltage of the main transformer.
		If you ever watch the power company install a new pole, you will see that the end of that bare wire is stapled in a coil to the base of the pole and therefore is in direct contact with the earth, running 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 m) underground.
		When a 120-volt power line connects directly to ground, its goal in life is to pump as much electricity as possible through the connection.

	Mine Power Substations
		Transformers feeding power to surface loads must be installed within the Mine Power Substation ground grid if their source of power is tapped from the underground mine power transmission.
		The “zigzag” or grounding transformer shall be of sufficient capacity to carry maximum ground fault current continuously.
		Transfer switches between the permanent mine power source and a generator shall not be made or broken under load, unless properly rated to interrupt available fault current.

		Another is the RF ground, and it doesn't require a connection to the ocean—a large grid of copper or bronze in the bilge of the boat will often work quite well for it.
		The last is the lightning grounding system, which is often done using a large flat copper strip, rather than heavy wire, as the copper strip is better at conducting the large, high-voltage static electricity charges involved in a lightning strike.
		The ship's dc ground and her bonding system are integrally related, effectively grounding and providing corrosion control to all of your dc components.

	Ground Loops, or 'Let Me Hum A Few Bars' [SMR]
		In the United States, household electrical power is derived from a 4 kilovolt to 230 volt AC step-down transformer.
		This is the earth ground connection connecting your breaker panel to earth ground.
		Since we know ground loop is caused by differing ground connection potentials, let's deal first with "breaking" that ground connection at the "source" without losing the cable TV signal feed and required signal return back to the cable company.

		As a result of the current fuel price crisis, ground power has been elevated to the top of the list in terms of importance for the airlines.
		People are in a hurry, they have to get things done, they unplug a cable, leave it on the ground intending to come back later and have the hoist pull it up, (but) then something else comes up and they forget about it momentarily," Konkel says.

	Virtual Ground Circuits
		The "distance" between the midpoint of the divider and the negative side of the power supply is -6V and the distance to the positive side of the power supply is +6V.
		In a headphone amp, the circuit has several resistors and such going to ground, but virtually all of the dynamic current to ground is the return current from the headphones.
		Don't forget to consider the system bypass caps, if they go from each rail to virtual ground: there are many chips out there that will become unstable with less than a nanofarad of capacitance on their output, and the bypass capacitors will count against this.

	An Introduction to the Mysteries of Ground Radio
		The burial of conductors in the ground was viewed as reduction to a uniform, neutral electrical gradient.
		Deep VLF ground currents of 10 kilocycles were therefore not to be received beyond 15 kilometers from their source.
		But the addition of chemical solutions to the ground amplified and clarified the incoming signals, proving that ground signals are of an entirely different class and species of signal...having nothing to do with their aerial mirror-partners.
