Bonding & Grounding
Guaranteeing the safety of electrical systems and avoiding electric hazards requires the observance of two crucial steps: bonding and grounding. Bonding, in simple terms, is the joining together of any and all metal parts that might be in contact with electrical power or electrical equipment. This equally distributes any voltage potential that might have been present between metal parts and reduces the risk of electric shock between two metal parts.
Conversely, another option for dealing with electrical problems is grounding. With this technique, a direct path is established by connecting a physical wire to the earth itself. As long as the wire is in contact with the earth-whether on the surface or even after sinking it into the earth-when a fault happens in the electrical system, the current that would otherwise flow through something else (you!) to get to the earth takes the safer path and returns through the wire into the earth.
It is of the utmost importance in industrial and commercial environments that electrical systems are properly bonded and grounded. This is for the following reasons: first and foremost, safety. Proper bonding and grounding ensure that the systems can safely conduct currents of any amount; secondly, productive performance. When electrical systems are grounded and bonded, they can efficiently and reliably deliver power within required volts or amperes.
