What are the effects of improper grounding?

Decreased Efficiency• Electrical noise is introduced on data cables when surges are not properly dissipated by the grounding system.They cause

faulty data signals and dropped packets, thus decreasing the throughput and overall efficiency of your network.

Lower Reliability• According to insurance industry data, improper grounding of communication systems leads to $500 million per year of

damage to property and/or equipment due to lightning. (1)

• The Information Technology Industry Council states that grounding is the single-most important factor in reliable networkequipment performance. (2)

• More than 90% of problems in data communications equipment, including reboot, lockup, and data corruption, aretraced to problems with grounding. (3)

• Industry experts estimate that 27%-33% of damaged equipment in a user's facility is caused by electrostatic discharge.The component cost of repairing damaged equipment is substantial for complex circuit boards, especially when laborand downtime are considered. (4)

• According to the IEEE, the typical AC third prong ground is almost never sufficient to prevent damage to network equipment. (5)

Safety Risks• Personal injury from electric shock caused by improper grounding can cause immeasurable human suffering and

significant expense.• Potential fire hazards exist when heat is generated from electrical surges that find a high resistance path to ground.

Can you afford improper grounding?

Network equipment, such as switches, routers and storage devices, costs anywhere from thousands of dollars to hundreds ofthousands of dollars.The cost of proper grounding is only a tiny fraction of the cost of the equipment it is protecting.

Clearly the biggest cost of improper grounding is the inability to service customers properly.

PANDUIT ® STRUCTUREDGROUND™ System for Data Center Grounding gives you what you need to properly protectyour investment.

TThhee PPuurrppoossee ooff GGrroouunnddiinnggThe grounding system is not just an insurance policy against a lightning strike. It is an active,functioning system that provides protection for personnel and equipment. Proper grounding isessential for efficient network performance.

The purpose of the grounding system is to create a low impedance path to earth ground for electricalsurges and transient voltages. Lightning, fault currents, circuit switching (motors turning on and off),and electrostatic discharge are the common causes of these surges and transient voltages. Aneffective grounding system minimizes the detrimental effects of these electrical surges.

A properly designed grounding system is one that is intentional, visually verifiable, adequately sizedto handle expected currents safely, and one that directs these potentially damaging currents awayfrom sensitive communication equipment. Any metallic component that is part of the data centerinfrastructure (such as equipment, racks, ladder racks, enclosures, cable trays, etc.) must be bondedto the grounding system.
