Components of Equipotential bonding
At Sunenergy System S.L, we offer a variety of products specifically designed for equipotential bonding.
What are Equipotential bondings?
Equipotential bondings are an integral part of any effective and safe electrical system. They allow electrical points to maintain the same potential, helping to prevent electric shocks and optimize energy distribution in your facilities.
Why are Equipotential bonding Important?
A system without proper equipotential connection is susceptible to overloads, electric shocks, and system failures. If a fault arises in the installation, equipotential bonding ensure that any fault current will be safely conducted to the ground, minimizing the risk of electric shock.
Functioning of Equipotential bonding
Equipotential bonding work by joining several electrical points, keeping them at the same potential, regardless of how much energy is flowing through the system. This equalization of potentials helps to prevent the dangers of potential differences that can occur in an electrical installation, such as electrical shocks and short circuits.
Main and Secondary Equipotential bonding
Equipotential bonding are classified into two types: main and secondary. The main ones refer to connections between the main masses of the installation, including the main protective conductor, the ground connection, and the protective conductors of all circuits. On the other hand, secondary equipotential bonding are designed to minimize contact voltage in case of a failure.
Benefits of Equipotential bonding
The use of equipotential bonding brings a number of key benefits:
Safety
Equipotential bonding protect against the risk of electric shocks by ensuring that there are no harmful potential differences in the event of a failure.
Energy efficiency
They allow for more uniform distribution of electricity, which can result in greater energy efficiency.
System durability
They help to prevent overheating and stress on system components, which can prolong the life of your electrical installation.
