The importance of bonding and grounding in commercial, industrial, and solar installations cannot be overstated. The grounded circuits of all machines need to have an effective return path from the equipment to the power source in order to function properly. In addition, non-current-carrying metallic components in a facility, such as equipment cabinets, enclosures, and structural steel, need to be electrically interconnected so voltage potential cannot exist between them. Proper grounding is essential for the safety of all who come in contact with any type of energized equipment. It is up to the electrical contractor to insure that their electricians are up to date on the proper installation and code requirements governing the area.
