  2. Bonding jumper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_jumper

    [2] Some codes require a bonding jumper to be pulled into non-metallic conduit or in electrical metallic tubing that may be exposed to corrosion or mechanical damage. In North American electrical codes, an important bonding jumper is found in main electrical panels, where the system neutral conductor is connected to earth ground. This must be ...

  3. Three-prong adaptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-prong_adaptor

    The ground tab is designed to be attached to the outlet faceplate screw, which is supposed to be connected to the building electrical ground. A cheater plug, AC ground lifter or three-prong/two-prong adapter is an adapter that allows a NEMA 5-15P grounding-type plug (three prongs) to connect to a NEMA 1-15R non-grounding receptacle (two slots).

  4. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

    NEMA 1-15P (two-pole, no ground) and NEMA 5-15P (two-pole with ground pin) plugs are used on common domestic electrical equipment, and NEMA 5-15R is the standard 15-ampere electric receptacle (outlet) found in the United States, and under relevant national standards, in Canada (CSA C22.2 No. 42 [1]), Mexico (NMX-J-163-ANCE) and Japan (JIS C 8303).

  5. Copper tubing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_tubing

    A similar bonding jumper wire is used between the inlet and outlet of gas meters, but here the purpose is to avoid having a substantial voltage difference between the building’s grounding electrode(s) and buried natural gas lines appear across the gas meter during the brief interval when a line to ground fault is conducting before the ...

  6. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

    Sometimes the fittings are considered sufficiently conductive to bond (electrically unite) the metal conduit to a metal junction box (thus sharing the box's ground connection); other times, grounding bushings are used which have bonding jumpers from the bushing to a grounding screw on the box.

  7. Earthing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    The US National Electrical Code permitted the use of the supply neutral wire as the equipment enclosure connection to ground from 1947 to 1996 for ranges (including separate cooktops and ovens) and from 1953 to 1996 for clothes dryers, whether plug-in or permanently fixed, provided that the circuit originated in the main service panel. Normal ...

  8. Electrical bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_bonding

    Equipotential bonding involves electrically connecting metalwork so that it is at the same voltage everywhere. Exact rules for electrical installations vary by country, locality, or supplying power company. [2] Equipotential bonding is done from where the distribution wiring enters the building to incoming water and gas services.

  9. Isolated ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated_ground

    The primary reason for the use of isolated grounds (IG) is to provide a noise-free ground return, separate from the equipment grounding (EG) return. The EG circuit includes all of the metal conduit, outlet boxes, and metal enclosures that contain the wiring and must be grounded to provide a safe return path in case of fault currents.
