IEEE Transactions On Industry Applications
Special Issue on Grounding Systems, 2015
Grounding Electrode Systems are of paramount importance, as components of electrical systems must
be connected to earth, either for safety purposes, or for their proper functioning. The purpose of this
special issue is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the analysis and the
proper design, as well as safety related issues, of grounding systems.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions, or survey papers or tutorials, for
review for publication in this special issue on Grounding Systems. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:
