| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses several potential hazards of electrical wiring and provides safety suggestions. States that "proper grounding in the wet environment of turf irrigation is the first safety requirement to be considered." Explains that "proper grounding will limit the risk of injury to personnel, and damage to equipment. Grounding will limit the potential (voltage) difference between equipment and earth and will provide a low impedance path for fault current so enough current can flow to open an overcurrent device (fuse, circuit breaker or fault detector)." Also discusses safety for pumping equipment and irrigation controllers. |
