What is Earth Bonding?
Earth bonding is a combined process of earthing and bonding. The main purpose of earthing and bonding is to prevent electric shocks.
What is Earthing?
The principal idea behind earthing is that if electrical equipment becomes faulty, then the current would pass down the earthing path and thus keeping people safe. Earthing limits the duration of touch voltages.
What is Bonding?
On the other hand, bonding is a connection of metallic components with the use of a protective bonding conductor.
If someone accidentally touches an electric source, functional or arising from malfunction, and touches a metallic object at the same time, that person will get a potentially life-threatening shock.
The lack of bonding will create a chain effect as all the metallic components nearby conduct electricity. Bonding limits the magnitude of touch voltages.
Why is Earth Bonding important?
Earthing and bonding is a crucial part of every electrical installation and is required for meeting safety regulations.
However, it is often overlooked by an unqualified person attempting electrical work themselves. Only professionals should undertake any electrical tasks to prevent such mistakes.
If your property lacks earthing or bonding, it should be taken care of as soon as possible to ensure safety.
