00:18The first step in temporary personal protective grounding is to lay out all the equipment to be

00:23used at the work site.

00:24A tarp can be used to lay out the equipment on the ground to keep it clean and away from any

00:29sources of moisture.

00:31The grounding equipment should be visually inspected to ensure it is not damaged and

00:36functioning properly.

00:37The goal of the ground sets is to keep the resistance as low as possible.

00:41So a wire brush can be used to clean any oxidation from the clamps.

00:47Chance assembled set comes with a label that includes the catalog number for future ordering.

00:53A serial number. A STMF 855 rating and the DC Millio resistance

00:58taken at the factory before installing temporary protective grounding equipment.

01:03A line worker must check to see if the line is still energized,

01:06de energized or has induced voltage. This can be done with the chance multi range

01:12voltage indicator or MRB. I for sure.

01:15The meter also includes a free app that can be downloaded from the Google Play or Apple itunes

01:20Store. The app will display the voltage the unit is

01:23seeing when installed.

01:24Chance also sells a tester tester to ensure the meter is working properly.

01:29Before and after use, the line voltage is being checked with a chance.

01:35MRV I mounted on a universal hot stick, all three phases must be checked.

01:41The hot stick must have enough length to comply with OSHA and company or utility mandated

01:46minimum approach distances. Mad for short.

01:49The next step is to clean all the conductors and the neutral for installation of the ground

01:54clamps, removing the oxidation will help to reduce the resistance in the path to ground.

02:00In this video, a chance universal stick mounted conductor brush is used to clean the conductors

02:05and neutral. A hand line is used to bring up the cluster bar

02:09for installation on a pole. The cluster bar is used to create an equipotent

02:13zone that will bond the pole with the conductors and system neutral.

02:17The cluster bar should be installed below the workers feet and be in conductive contact with

02:22the pole to a depth beyond where the climber's gaps would penetrate the pole.

02:27Chance offers penetrating cluster bars and adapters that comply with OSHA 1910.269

02:34appendix C. The next step is to install a ground set from

02:37the cluster bar to the system neutral. If there is no system neutral or the pole

02:42grounds have been cut or damaged at the job site.

02:45A driven ground rod can be used in place of the system neutral.

02:48A ground clamp is then tightened to the cluster bar.

02:51The other end is then installed in a shotgun stick with the correct length or mat and

02:56connected to the system. Neutral.

02:59A second ground set is installed on the cluster bar and the other end to one of the phases with

03:04the shotgun stick.

03:05A third ground set is installed from the previously grounded phase to another ungrounded

03:10phase. 1/4 ground set is installed from the previously

03:14grounded phase to the last ungrounded phase. Therefore, short circuiting all three phases,

03:21additional grounds may be needed to bond additional conductive objects in the work zone.

03:26One of the clamps has a stud installed to make installation easier of the ground sets.

03:31The stud is not rated for fault current and should not be used to carry any current.

03:35It is only intended as a parking stud to keep the uninstalled end of the ground set from

03:40moving around during installation.

03:42Once all the grounds are installed, the de energized and grounded line maintenance can

03:47begin after the work is completed, the grounds should be uninstalled in the opposite order

03:53they were installed with the connections made at the cluster bar to the ground removed.
