Term Definition Counter Appliance (Gas) Appliances such as gas-operated coffee brewers and coffee urns and any appurtenant water-heating equipment, food and dish warmers, hot plates, and griddles. Counterbalancing A method by which the hanging weight of the door is balanced by helical torsion springs or weights. Counterflow A cooling tower classification in which the water flows countercurrent to the airflow. Counterpoise A conductor or system of conductors arranged beneath the transmission/distribution supply line; located on, above, or most frequently below the surface of the earth; and connected to the grounding system of the towers or poles supporting the line. (This conductor(s) might or might not be the continuous length of the supply path. It is often used to provide a lower surge impedance path to earth for lightning protection when there is a transition from overhead supply conductors to underground insulated cable.) Counterpoise is also used in communication systems, where it is a system of conductors, physically elevated above and insulated from the ground, forming a lower system of conductors of an antenna. Note that the purpose of a counterpoise is to provide a relatively high capacitance and thus a relatively low impedance path to earth. The counterpoise is sometimes used in medium- and lowfrequency applications where it would be more difficult to provide an effective ground connection. Sometimes counterpoise is confused with equipotential plane. See also 3.3.27, Equipotential Plane. Coupled Water-Motor Pump A correctly designed positive displacement pump in the water supply line coupled to a second, smaller, positive displacement foam concentrate pump to provide proportioning. A complete coupling including its gaskets and the expansion rings or collar pieces used in attaching the coupling to the hose. One set or pair of connection devices attached to a fire hose that allow the hose to be interconnected to additional lengths of hose or adapters and other firefighting appliances.

A conductor from a lightning protection system to earth ground designed to provide a low impedance path for the current from a lightning strike and/or dissipate the charge buildup that precedes a lightning strike. This conductor typically goes from the air terminals to earth. Due to the very high currents at very high frequencies, the impedance of the entire system is very critical. Normal wiring conductors are not suitable for the down conductor. Typically, they are braided conductors. There might be certain instances where additional investigation about the interconnection between the lightning and the grounding electrode system is warranted.

Earth Grounding
Definition Systems that use smoke, heat, or flame detectors to detect fires before high heat conditions threaten human life or cause significant damage to telecommunications service. A signal provided by a system that detects fire in its earliest stages of development to enhance the opportunity of building occupants to escape and to commence manual suppression of the fire prior to arrival of fire service units. 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.

Definition A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers or nozzles attached to a piping system containing air that might or might not be under pressure, with a supplemental detection system installed in the same area as the sprinklers. Actuation of the detection system opens a valve that permits water to flow into the sprinkler piping system and to be discharged from any sprinklers that have activated. Foam-Water Spray System A special system that is pipe-connected to a source of foam concentrate and to a water supply. The system is equipped with foam-water spray nozzles for extinguishing agent discharge (foam followed by water or in reverse order) and for distribution over the area to be protected.

Foam-Water Sprinkler A special system that is pipe-connected to a source of System foam concentrate and to a water supply. The system is equipped with appropriate discharge devices for extinguishing agent discharge and for distribution over the area to be protected. The piping system is connected to the water supply through a control valve that usually is actuated by operation of automatic detection equipment that is installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. When this valve opens, water flows into the piping system, foam concentrate is injected into the water, and the resulting foam solution discharging through the discharge devices generates and distributes foam. Upon exhaustion of the foam concentrate supply, water discharge follows and continues until shut off manually. Systems can be used for discharge of water first, followed by discharge of foam for a specified period, and then followed by water until manually shut off. Existing deluge sprinkler systems that have been converted to the use of aqueous film-forming foam or film-forming fluoroprotein foam are classified as foam-water sprinkler systems.

Definition An unintentional, electrically conducting connection between an ungrounded conductor of an electrical circuit and the normally noncurrent-carrying conductors, metallic enclosures, metallic raceways, metallic equipment, or earth. Unintentional contact between an ungrounded conductor and earth or conductive body that serves in place of earth. Within a facility, this is typically a fault between a current-carrying conductor and the equipment-grounding path that results in the operation of the overcurrent protection. An unintentional, electrically conducting connection between an ungrounded conductor of an electrical circuit and the normally noncurrent-carrying conductors, metallic enclosures, metallic raceways, metallic equipment, or earth. A current that flows outside the normal circuit path, such as (a) through the equipment grounding conductor, (b) through conductive material other than the electrical system ground (metal water or plumbing pipes, for example), (c) through a person, or (d) through a combination of these ground return paths.

70B (2010) Ground Leakage Current Current that is introduced into the grounding conductor by normal equipment operation, such as capacitive coupling. Many RFI/EMI filters in electronic equipment have capacitors from current-carrying conductors to the equipment-grounding conductor to shunt noise emitted from or injected into their power supplies. While there are relatively low current level limits imposed by regulatory agencies (e.g., UL specifies maximum 3.5 mA, hospital equipment 0.5 mA), not all equipment is listed. Even with listed equipment, the sum of the current from a large quantity of such equipment in a facility can result in significant ground currents.
