Grounding & Bonding · System Grounding
Neutral-Ground Bond
The single connection between the neutral and grounding systems, made only at the service. Bonding them elsewhere creates dangerous parallel current paths.
Common uses
Establishing the system ground reference at the main panel
Safety note
Never bond neutral and ground in a subpanel; the bond belongs only at the service disconnect.
