EquiCotential Bonding212

Equipotential Bonding is the practice of intentionally electrically connecting all earthed

systems to the same grounding grid or connecting the grounding grids of all the

earthed systems together through the ground or overground metal so as to create

an earthed equipotential zone. When lightning occurs, the high voltage produced by

lightning current in all systems will meanwhile exist in their ground cables, and thus

all ground cables have the same electrical potential and basically eliminate the electric

strikes between the systems.

The figure below illustrates how to practice equipotential bonding in a network.

When equipotential bonding, please note that the cable should be copper wrapped Kelly

with its area being 6mm

at least. The shorter cable the better, and use a grounding

bar to establish an equipotential bonding point.

equipotential bonding cable

please self purchase it.
