Grounding & Bonding
20
A stable power supply is the backbone of any facility.
Power failure or instability can cause safety, production
and operational issues, significantly impacting a
company’s bottom line. Ineffective grounding can lead
to voltage variances that damage electrical equipment
or electronic devices, resulting in power loss and costly
downtime. Many power problems stem from incorrect
bonding of transformers, main electrical panels,
subpanels, UPS systems and generators. Proper
grounding and bonding are critical to ensuring safety,
preventing service disruptions and providing electrical
continuity and reliability. Thomas & Betts grounding
