	Meeting Description UPDATE (9/2/2008): PDHs - Six (6) Professioanl Development Hours shall be awarded to participants at the completion of this class. IEEE Florida Provider Number 3849. *********** UPDATE (8/27/08): For those that are prepaying via mail, the CORRECT Treasury address is: IEEE - FWCS 30612 Nickerson Loop Wesley Chapel, FL 33543 Attn: Dr. Paul Schnitzler You may also pay at the door. *********** Your local IEEE PES/IAS chapter is offering this seminar on IEEE 142 Grounding of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems (the Green Book) as part of a series of seminars based on the IEEE Color Books. Please come and benefit yourself and the industry with this excellent class – sellout attendance is key to the continuance of the local color book guest speaker series. The IEEE Green Book reviews practices and methods of system grounding in detail. A thorough investigation of grounding problems, and the methods for solving these problems, is presented. In presenting these problems and solutions to electrical engineers worldwide, the IEEE Green Book provides a basic framework for applying fundamental principles to specific work situations and applications. The IEEE Green Book addresses many different aspects of grounding. The problems of system grounding, which include connection to ground of neutral, of the corner of the delta, or of the midtap of one phase, are covered. The advantages and disadvantages of grounded versus ungrounded systems are discussed. Information is given on how to ground the system, where the system should be grounded, and how to select equipment for the grounding of neutral circuits. Methods for connecting the frames and enclosures of electrical equipment to the ground system are addressed. The fundamentals of making the interconnection between the electrical equipment and ground rods, water pipes, etc. are outlined. Even problems relating to static electricity and lightning, as well as electronic equipment, are covered in the IEEE Green Book. Questions: Contact Jeff Basiaga at 813-541-5758 or jeff.basiaga@stantec.com The price for IEEE members is $125.00, the price for non members is $155.00.
	Additional Information Speaker Bio: Elliot Rappaport is a Life Member of the IEEE and is well acquainted with the Green Book having been Chapter 2 (Equipment Grounding) Chair for the last two editions. He was the Working Book Chair for the 2008 edition and past Chair of the Grounding Subcommittee. He has been a member of the NEC Code Panel 5 (Grounding) for more than 25 years. Mr. Rappaport is a graduate of Wayne University in Detroit with a BSEE and an MSEE and is a registered professional engineer in the State of Michigan. He was a Division Electrical Discipline Head for a large A/E company and has had his own electrical engineering consulting company for the past 25 years.
	Meeting Location USF - Kopp Engineering Bldg. 4202 Fowler Avenue, Tampa Driving Directions The class shall be held in the Dean's Conference Room in the Kopp Engineering Building at USF, Tampa Campus. Drive your automobile to the main USF entrance off of Fowler Avenue. Stop at the parking/info drive through gate. A parking day pass will be required to be purchased (approximately $5). At this time, ask the attendant for directions to the Kopp Engineering building. A small map will be provided free of charge that will get you to the Kopp Engineering Building. In the past, the attendant has also drew the route on the map to get you where you have asked. Word of advice to first timers to USF, big campus - give yourself a little time to arrive 10 or 15 minutes early. Don't forget about carpooling if it's an option.
