System Grounding 

System Grounding is usually taken for granted or is an afterthought to the design process.   We prefer to consider System Grounding to be an integral part of the entire system.

On an AC System, the ground tree is the very same as the power tree.   A 3 conductor cable includes black, white and green where green is ground.  AC System Grounds originate at the same place as the power.

DC Grounding Systems are completely different.    The green grounding wire tree originates at boat ground and branches out from there.
