Grounding & Bonding of Electrical Systems On-Site Training

This on-site training class is also available as Public Schedule Seminar.

You will learn protection fundamentals and performance requirements that are essential for electrical installation, design and inspection.

Course Description/Agenda

From the beginning, the use of electricity has presented many challenges ranging from how to install a safe electrical system to how to develop minimum code requirements for safe electrical installations. These installations depend on several minimum requirements, many of which are covered in NFPA 70.

In this grounding and bonding seminar, workers learn protection fundamentals and performance requirements that are essential for electrical installation, design and inspection. They will also learn how to do this while maintaining the highest level of electrical safety for persons and property.

What You Will Learn

Participants learn about grounding requirements as they relate to Article 250 and other articles of the National Electrical Code® (NEC). Installation, testing, and inspection procedures for industrial, commercial, institutional and residential power systems are covered. Learn the rules to minimize the risk of electricity as a source of electric shock, and as an ignition source of fires and explosions.
