The three appendices discuss the basic concepts of sinusoids and phasors, the fundamental conventions,
and the network theorems that are extensively used throughout the text. Their purpose is to give the reader a
basic theoretical support for the comprehension of the technical methodologies profusely applied in the book.
Writing this book has been a formidable journey through the core of the bonding and grounding of electrical
systems, and I do hope that it will shed some light on some of the concepts commonly accepted by the
community of the practitioner engineers, but perhaps not completely understood.
My sincere thanks go to all my colleagues and friends from industry and academia alike for their
constructive critiques during the drafting of the manuscript. Last, but not least, many thanks for continuous
and effective support to my wife Jennifer, a “solidly” grounded person, who lights up my life.
