Anyone have any good elecrtical glossaries? I feel bad posting soooo many questions, but I can't find these terms at all.

"Bei einem maschenförmigen Potenzialausgleich im TK-Raum werden die Netzwerkschränke / - gestelle einzeln auf dem kürzesten Weg mit dem separaten Erdungsleiter an den
Maschenerder angeschlossen. Sind nur Potenzialausgleichsschienen im TK-Raum vorhanden, so wird jeder Netzwerkschrank / -gestell sternförmig auf dem kürzesten Weg an eine Potenzialausgleichsschiene angeschlossen. Die Verlegung einer separaten Erdungsleitung soll zur Verminderung von Erdschleifen möglichst nahe und parallel zur Verbraucherleitung erfolgen."

earthing grid
Explanation:
Your text essentially tells you what this is ('bei einem maschenformigen Potentialausgliech...'). An earthing grid is a horizontal gridwork of conductors constructed or installed over an area to provide earthing for equipment. It's most commonly used with electrical substations (buried in ground), but the same idea can also be used in an equipment room, most likely below a false floor.

Oberflächenerder sind Horizontalerder. Sie werden ausgeführt als

* Ringerder, die einen waagerechten Ring bilden
* Strahlenerder, die waagerecht strahlenförmig auseinanderlaufen

Woven conductor refers to the type of cable, not to the arrangement of the earthing.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Could it also be a "woven" conductor, I have found this referenced in the text before. Yours does make more sense, so I am not sure.
