Electrical impedance is the total opposition of an electrical circuit to alternating current, equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the circuit\u2019s resistance and reactance, and is usually expressed in ohms.   <strong>Symbol: Z.<\/strong><br\/><br\/>Impedance is a complex combination of resistance, capacitive and inductive reactance. Impedance-based grounding systems are usually set up on site because they are affected by cable length\/capacitance and environmental conditions. Impedance-based grounding systems do not comply with relevant international standards, guidance and recommended practice. The impedance-based systems may be able to detect the presence of a tanker and infer the resistance of the verified ground, but they cannot monitor the less than 10-ohm loop between the clamp teeth on the vehicle back to the verified grounding point as required in the standards, etc.   <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column
