Out if all the videos on youtube, finally, a plain language straight forward explanation. Thank you. Incredible how simple, but how much crap people add to videos explaining it
@@RSPSupply When I was in a military E&I (comm construction unit), I helped install a ground array, with 10 or more 12 foot copper rods placed in a circle, pointed toward the center, in the bottom of a deep pit. We used One-shots to bond all the rods together with 2awg solid copper wire, then bury all of it but the single connector point. I did not help design the array, but I could see that the engineer(s) that devised it did so considering a list of factors. I thought it was intriguing, very interesting.
This concept of ground loops is making my head hurt. Electrical code REQUIRES two grounding rods if impedance is above 25ohms is my understanding. Does this not create a giant ground loop that is unavoidable? Not an electrician or anything remotely close but have some sensitive equipment for signal interference and am trying to figure this all out.
Great video! It was very clear and information was efficiently communicated. I have a question, though. At 1:56, when you say it is not uncommon for there to be two grounds in a high voltage and frequency application, is this because noise and signal "cleanliness" aren't a concern? Or is this an application where ground loops are actually desired? I didn't understand why a ground loop is common in these situations.

Thanks for the support!
Thank you for this simple explanation. The more I learn about grounding and bonding, the more I realize I don't know.
You are so welcome!

Just curious - if I get shocked touching two appliances at once but not either alone, is that me creating a ground loop? How does that work?! Thanks!
Could a ground loop explain why I get shocked touching two appliances at the same time but not by themselves?

Excellent. Liked and subscribed :)
Do you have book on Earthing subject in pdf format? Very useful knowledge. 👍🏻

It is certainly helpful 🎉
Electrical ignorant here: Grounding everything to the same ground means using just one socket for all equipment? Thanks!
That is correct. Normally in an electrical cabinet all the equipment's are bonded to a common ground bus.

Can it appear in new speakers also
I think so
I guess this means not having two grounding rods attached to the same panel
Well I didn't get it sorry.
👍👍👍👍👍
terrible explanation
....In your opinion...
