Equipotential Bonding
MOLEC Equipotential Bonding in Melbourne
Equipotential Bonding is an additional protection measure to that of a Protective Earth Conductor (PE).
Equipotential Bonding is a necessary component of electrical work in high risk areas, as it assists in reducing the risk of both equipment damage and personal injury. It is the electrical connection, joining metalwork and various exposed conductive items to ground, ensuring equal voltage between two points.
Equipotential bonding is a necessary component when being installed in the following electrical systems, which we are experienced in performing:
The fundamental purpose of equipotential bonding and earthing is to provide a path for all electrical faults or induced voltages and current to the ground, giving maximum protection from electric shock.
An example of Equipotential Bonding is shown in the photo on the right. This example depicts a remote equipotential bonding bar and bonded equipment.
