Grounding & Bonding
In Grounding & Bonding equipment, grounding provides a path for fault current and static charge to earth, while bonding equalises potential between conductive objects; the two work together per the design. The category includes grounding clamps, grounding rods, bonding wires, equipotential mats, and static grounding reels. Grounding serves as a baseline protective layer in electrical substations, fuel-loading areas, and sites with combustible vapors.

About this category
Correct grounding protects workers and equipment from shock hazards and static-electric fires. Grounding differs from bonding: grounding ties the system to earth, while bonding links metallic parts together to equalize potential and prevent voltage differences. Temporary grounding clamps carry sharp teeth that pierce paint or oxide to reach bare metal and are rated by the short-circuit current they withstand (10-80 kA). Grounding rods are copper or copper-clad steel at 1.5-3 m length, driven into the ground to create a low-resistance earthing point. Flexible bonding wires at 10-70 mm² often carry a transparent jacket for visual inspection and link a frame to earth or one metallic part to another. Equipotential mats serve substations and protect the worker from step-and-touch potentials during ground faults; a metallic surface connected to earth supports the technician during switching. Static grounding reels house a long retractable lead for recurring fuel-loading work, where the tanker is bonded to the pipe to drain static before flow begins. Specifications follow IEC 61230, ANSI/IEEE 1246, and NFPA 77.
