Grounding & Bonding
The rail industry relies on proper grounding and
bonding so electrical systems that deliver signals,
communications and power can continue to operate.
Grounding absorbs current surges, and bonding
eliminates the electrical potential. Together, proper
grounding and bonding will:
r Ensure personnel safety
r Eliminate lightning interruptions
r Protect critical equipment
r Meet IEEE, UL® and CSA obligations
r Provide electrical continuity and reliability
Thomas & Betts offers a wide-ranging selection of
products and sizes to accommodate all grounding
and bonding applications. The right product
selection will minimize the number of conductors
and terminations required.
