Definition
Equipotential bonding is the connection of all metallic components — racking, frames, conduits, equipment chassis — to a common ground, ensuring they remain at the same potential. Prevents shock during faults and reduces induced lightning damage.
Key Takeaways
- Equipotential bonding = all metal at same voltage.
- Prevents shock during faults.
- Reduces induced lightning damage.
- Required by NEC 690.43 + IS 3043.
- Verified during CEIG inspection in India.
