Grounding/Equipotential Bonding Connection
Equipotential bonding is used to minimize, dissipate, and balance voltage differences – positive and negative – between the bodies of electrical equipment and other conductive parts, such as iron within a component, by channeling them into the ground – also known as grounding. A balanced potential is more important today than ever. If the potential is not balanced, all components built into highly sensitive electronic devices will immediately fail due to overvoltage. This results in permanent damage to the devices.
