This book identifies and analyzes the important terms that apply to grounding and bonding electrical systems and equipment. These terms have many real-world applications in the design and installation of electrical systems, and the grounding and bonding of these systems are the heart of every electrical installation. In our analysis, we use real world applications with practical examples to further enhance the reader's understanding of this complex subject. This includes detailed examples of fault-current calculations.

At the end, there is a 30-question examination, complete with an answer key, to solidify understanding of NEC requirements for safe, compliant installations.
