In this LearnElectrics video we will take a simplified look at what we can do when we need to make a decision about equipotential bonding of conductive parts that are not part of the electrical installation.
This is an important consideration for any electrician. Customer safety is paramount and the last thing we want to do is to introduce sources of electric shock hazard where none existed before.
We’ve had a few questions recently, asking how one decides if external oil storage tanks need to be bonded, or copper water pipes that enter the house by plastic service pipes should be equipotential bonded.
If the resistance path to Earth is sufficiently high enough, then equipotential bonding may not be required. But just what is this resistance figure. How can we calculate the correct figure for any particular situation.
It’s an easy calculation that gives you confidence that you are doing the right thing to keep the installation, and the user, safe.
