(OP)
what are the disadvantace if you convine electronic equipment grounding to power grounding?
thank for sharing your knowledge.

Keep those electronic grounds seperate from your power grounds!

RE: grounding
The first purpose of grounding is for the safety of persons and equipment. Consider a plant in an area known for poor grounding conditions. A ground fault on a 2400 volt circuit or a 480 volt circuit may result in the plant ground potential rising above "true" ground potential. In this case you and your equipment are a lot safer if you all stay at plant ground potential rather than having one grounding system at a different voltage than the other. Step potentials and touch potentials are life threatening voltages that develop on surfaces under fault conditions. Proper grounding practice and proper interconnection of grounds reduces or eliminates these hazards. Take a look at the membership of the NEC or CEC code committees to get an appreciation of the backgrounds, experience and work environments of the people who write the codes. They demand that grounding systems be interconnected. This ensures the same potential, and that is a lot safer all around than having a piece of electronic equipment on one ground system sitting next to a piece of equipment on a power ground that has just risen in potential due to a fault. You don't want to be touching both pieces of equipment in such a case. The sensitive electronics may not like it either.

Maybe looking at older systems and these tend to change with the wind.
