Bonding vs. Grounding: A Primer
Bonding and grounding are simple concepts, but, unfortunately, they’re
also easily confused with each other. Definitions of one term often get
wrapped up in the definitions of the other, and, before long, one can

that might occur due to high voltages resulting from lightning strikes,
line surges or unintended contact with higher-voltage lines.
