There has been increasing attention to how grounding systems should be implemented in the highly reliable ICT (information and communication technology) and power networks in the home and buildings. Recent buildings are required lightning protection measure with grounding systems to protect electric appliances, electronic devices, and communications equipment. At the same time, grounding system is having a growing adverse effect on EMC (electromagnetic compatibility). Considering these recent trends, this paper describes an integrated grounding system for homes and buildings that provides a safe, secure, and reliable operating environment for electric and electronic equipment and ICT equipment against lightning damage and EMC problems.
