•      What’s Single Point Grounding? Maybe you have had an unpleasant 
experience while taking a hot shower in Winter. Someone turns on a hot 
water faucet somewhere else. You will be impressed with the cold water! 
The bottom diagram above shows an example of how devices will influ- 
ence each other with swift load change. For example, normally we turn on 
all the four hydrants for testing. When you close the 
hydrant   3   and hydrant 4, the other two hydrants will get more flow. In 
other words, the hydrant cannot keep a constant flow rate.
