Abstract :
The words used to describe grounding practices are different among different industries. This leads to confusion and costly errors. To prepare an overall aerospace system specification, one must address engineers associated with air vehicles, checkout equipment, communications, architect-engineering, and utility power. Each must be able to work from what is said in his field, and be able to understand the requirements in other fields. Coordination requires a common language. A new official "Definitions of Electrical Terms" is required.
