The purpose of grounding and electrical systems, grounding for safety, signal noise, signal wiring systems, and methods used to reduce noise.

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

1. Learn the relationship between earth ground to electricity and electrical shock
2. Understand why some electrical systems are connected to earth ground
3. Use the National Electric Code (NEC) as standard for grounding instrument systems
4. Understand how people become part of an electrical circuit and how to avoid it
5. Understand what a ground loop is
6. Compare noise and interference and how they are transmitted
7. Identify instrument signal wiring and conductors
8. Use methods to reduce instrument noise
9. Understand the effects of harmonics on power systems, control systems, and computers
