Description
* Description: Grounding and bonding are the backbone of safety; this course shows how to design and test them properly. You’ll distinguish fault‑current paths from reference grounds and learn why both matter to overcurrent protection and noise control. Diagrams illustrate main bonding jumpers, system bonding jumpers, and equipment grounding conductors in typical services and subpanels. Examples cover bonding of raceways, enclosures, and metallic water piping, plus handling of separately derived systems like transformers. A testing chapter walks through continuity checks, resistance measurements, and visual inspections that catch loose or missing bonds. Lightning and surge protection basics explain where devices belong and what they can and cannot do. Field photos highlight errors—floating neutrals in subpanels, isolated boxes, and unbonded reducing washers—and how to correct them. You’ll receive a commissioning checklist you can run before occupancy or after major renovations. Documentation templates help you prove compliance to inspectors, owners, and insurers. All procedures emphasize lockout/tagout, verification before touch, and adherence to local code.
* Format: Explanatory videos, bonding diagrams, commissioning checklists, testing worksheets, and correction guides.
* Duration: 2 hours of content plus a 30‑minute testing practice set.
* What You’ll Learn: Fault‑path design, bonding hardware, subpanel rules, test methods, and common field corrections.
* Target Audience: Installers and maintainers tasked with safe, reliable grounding and bonding.
