ARTICLE 250 GROUNDING AND BONDING
Metal parts of electrical equipment must be bonded to the supply source in a manner that creates a low-impedance path for ground-fault current to open the circuit overcurrent device.
This page addresses the basics of grounding and outlines the need for regularly scheduled maintenance and testing activities for grounding systems. The National Electric Code (NEC), Article 250, contains specific require...

Metal parts of electrical equipment must be bonded to the supply source in a manner that creates a low-impedance path for ground-fault current to open the circuit overcurrent device.
Bonding the enclosures containing service conductors ensures electrical continuity for the ground-fault current. The market offers products that allow designers and installers to choose among
Conduit systems and associated fittings and terminations shall be made mechanically tight to provide a continuous electrical path to ground and shall be safely grounded at all equipment
The NEC (National Electrical Code) and (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) provide comprehensive guidelines for grounding and bonding in commercial electrical installations, which are
Set points for the distribution system''s overcurrent and ground fault trip adjustments on feeders (long time, short time, instantaneous and ground fault - LSIG), shall be determined by the Short Circuit
After any major change to an electrical distribution system, every three years (maximum), or if ground-related issues are suspected, a qualified electrical contractor or professional engineer should verify
