Re: BONDING
I'll try this again...
If we look at article 100 (Definitions), we are able to see where bonding and grounding is different.
For example, if the grounded conductor becomes loose, then the metal enclosure is both ungrounded and unbonded. Now consider the bond, the bond provides electrically conductive path to the adjacent metallic box, where that box is grounded, therefore the ground fault path is maintained even though one side became loose because all the enclosures are bonded together.
Bonding forms an electrically conductive path that ensures electrical continuity and the capacity to conduct safely any current likely to be imposed on or to the enclosures.
