Bonding and Grounding Part 1: Overview
Bonding and grounding systems within a building should maintain a single electrical potential. The lightning protection system must comply with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). While bonding and grounding of the electrical service entrance is beyond this Standard’s scope, coordinating electrical and telecommunications bonding and grounding is crucial for proper implementation. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of ANSI/TIA-607-C requirements and highlights key changes from 607-B. (This course is Part 1 of a 2 Part Series.)
Credit Value: 1
Instructor: Tom Cabral, Field Application Engineer
Bonding and Grounding Part 2: Deeper Dive
Building on the foundation from Part 1, this presentation dives deeper into bonding and grounding specifically for telecommunications. It includes a thorough review of required codes and standards, such as ANSI/TIA-607-C, and analyzes design options and best practices to meet Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements. Although bonding and grounding of the electrical service entrance are outside this Standard’s scope, coordinating between electrical and telecommunications systems is essential for proper application. (This course is Part 2 of a 2-Part Series)
