Grounding & Bonding
The electronic technologies in power generation
utilities are subject to electrical hazards if
improperly grounded or bonded. Grounding
absorbs current surges, and bonding eliminates the
electrical potential. Together, proper grounding and
bonding will:
• Ensure personnel safety
• Eliminate lightning interruptions
• Protect critical equipment
• Meet IEEE, UL® and CSA obligations
• Provide electrical continuity and reliability
Good electrical connections are required for
grounding and bonding. 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.
Our durable, code-compliant systems, onsite
grounding and bonding training and installation
support are designed to ensure the safe and
reliable operation of your plant’s electrical systems
and increase overall equipment effectiveness.
