So the bonding strap.
Bonding strap electrical panel.
I the panel is a subpanel it goes in on the ground side to bond the panel to ground incase it ever got charged right.
However they are not the same thing.
Panels are supplied with split insulated neutrals with an insulated cross strap for service entrance applications the neutral must be bonded by using the bonding strap supplied with the panel for non service entrance subpanel applications the panel may be installed with the bonding strap not connected to the neutral separate ground bars.
I e green wire anywhere downstream of the service panel e g bonding them inside a sub panel then the current will have two paths to take.

One goes to the telephone ground one goes to the grounding terminal in the electrical distribution panel box.
If a person connects two pieces of machinery there is a potential for electrical shock.
These grounds appear to be bonded to the box also.
However if this 200 amp main breaker panel can t be immediately installed on the.
Grounding bonding 2 in our example the service equipment for the home is the 200 amp main breaker panel.
If the panel does not have the ground and neutral isolated do you need the bond screw.

The neutral and the egc.
Electrical bonding is the practice of intentionally electrically connecting all exposed metal items not designed to carry electricity in a room or building as protection from electric shock if a failure of electrical insulation occurs all bonded metal objects in the room will have substantially the same electrical potential so that an occupant of the room cannot touch two objects with.
Notice the two conductors.
However if there is.
It just seems to me like you would use it every time to bond the panel to to the neutral or ground.
The main reason for bonding within electrical equipment is to ensure the safety of workers.
Pictured at left is a ground rod stuck up out of the.
That is your path for fault current to flow and that low impedance path is why a breaker will trip in the event of a fault.
Bonding and ground straps are terms that people often make the mistake of using interchangeably.
The neutral is out of.
And it will take both paths.
The national electrical code nec has prohibited re grounding the neutral after the service since the 1923 edition.
The grounds and neutrals are seperated but the bonding strap is attached.
Pictured is a bonding screw on a metal mobile home frame.
