Grounding is, in essence, the control of abnormal voltages or currents through the proper application of Ohm=s Law: E = IR (Simplified Form) E = IR + jIXC+ jIXL Grounding is the control or minimization of R in order to reduce the effects of E & I. Improper grounding can cause more harm than no grounding.
