Bonding

[domnic]

On a grounded electrical system all bonded parts end up going to a ground rod somewhere ?

Correct.



You are on the path. One more thing to get your head around is NEC and power companies don't follow the same rules.

Quite likely if there are no ungrounded systems in the supply chain.

Does not have to go to a ground rod unless you mean at the utility pole. One does not need ground rods if they use other methods such as a concrete encased electrode.

Ground rod, ufer, ground plate whatever... close enough.

What's in a name? A connection to earth is a connection to earth and the ground is still just as hard.

Yes they should at some point as part of the G.E.S. ended up going to earth.
Although to a ground rod is only a detail of a bigger picture of why its there.
