Grounding And Bonding
Grounding And Bonding – Bonding is the electrical connection of all exposed metal objects that are not designed to carry electricity in a room or building. Grounding is the attachment of connected systems to the ground. Bonding and grounding are necessary to protect people and property from electrical hazards.
This guide explains how grounding and bonding work and the related 2020 and 2023 NEC requirements.

Electrical grounding, also known as grounding, connects electrical equipment to the ground. The goal is to create a conductive path for current to flow in the event of lightning strikes, accidental contacts, static charges and surges. In this case, discharges in grounded equipment will flow to earth instead of to sensitive equipment, sensitive circuits, or personnel.
