Established in 1896, NFPA's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.
The maximum flow rate of exposedthat a route or path can handle.
Industry:Fire safety
The intentional connection to earth through a grounding electrode of sufficiently low impedance to minimize damage to electrical components and prevent an electric shock that can occur from a superimposed voltage from lightning and voltage transients. In addition, earth grounding helps prevent the buildup of static charges on equipment and material. It also establishes a common voltage reference point to enable the proper performance of sensitive electronic and communications equipment.
