What are Ground Loops?

In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin responds to viewers' questions about the differences between ground “loops” and ground “rings”. Ground loops are a common term that is often ill defined and even more often used inappropriately. Typically, ground loops are used to define a process where the return currents (neutral currents) are allowed to travel back to the source on the normally non-current-carrying exposed conductive parts of a circuit, in violation of NEC 250.6 Objectionable Currents. Objectionable Currents are hazardous to both persons and equipment and must be removed from any circuit, If you want to learn more about the amazing world of electrical engineering and grounding be sure to check out our IEEE certified online courses at https://training.esgrounding.com to kick start your career.
