What is the Difference between AC Ground and DC Ground?
Understanding the difference between AC Ground and DC Ground is essential for designing a safe and dependable electrical system.
AC Ground
AC Ground used mostly for safety and fault control. Connected directly to the ground to protect equipment & personnel.
AC Ground = Safety Earth
DC Ground
DC Ground used as a reference point for electrical and control circuits. Often, the negative terminal is grounded to stabilize signals & reduce noise.
DC Ground = Circuit Reference
A defined grounding plan improves safety, lowers noise and prevents system faults.
