The program will follow the recommendations as set by the NFPA 470 standards and discuss the misunderstanding of what ground resistance is and why we do it first. Then, by demonstration, the instructor will show how we set up a grounding field for the damaged container, grounding field for the recovery container and appliances, and how to bond them together. This is an interactive program that will ask the student to discuss the subject. You can bring your ground density meter with you and make sure you know how it works
