Bonding Systems and Equipment

This book covers the proper bonding of systems and equipment in critical areas, focusing on the protection of people and equipment. It contains a complete analysis of terms and grounding methodologies. The proper bonding of systems and equipment is critical for the protection of people and equipment. This is especially important in patient-care areas of health care facilities, installations serving information technology equipment, installation of wiring associated with swimming pools, installations of wiring and special equipment in hazardous (classified) locations, installations of medium and high voltage systems where step, touch, and transferred potential differences are a constant threat, and agricultural buildings. A complete analysis of the appropriate terms associated with proper bonding and grounding methods, as well as two examples of fault current calculations will further enhance the understanding of these important topics. The second chapter includes a 30 question quiz and an answer key.
