Guide to the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, 25th Edition –Section 74
By William (Bill) Burr
Airport installations are series-type circuits that are different from other multiple-type circuits in that the regulator supplying them provides a constant current, and variable voltage supply regardless of the load. The regulator does not respond to ground faults in a normal fashion. A single ground fault does not affect the whole system. Two or more ground faults affect only a portion of the system or a reduction in lighting intensity. A ground counterpoise provides equipotential grounding to prevent damage to electrical equipment caused by lightning strikes and burning ground faults and to protect service personnel from touch voltages when repairing or replacing broken luminaires. The CSA Handbook provides an in-depth explanation of this technology. Read More... |
