 Equipotential Bonding
Equipotential Bonding is the practice of intentionally electrically connecting all earthed
systems to the same grounding grid or connecting the grounding grids of all the earthed
systems together through the ground or overground metal so as to create an earthed
equipotential zone. When lightning occurs, the high voltage produced by lightning current in
all systems will meanwhile exist in their ground cables, and thus all ground cables have the
same electrical potential and basically eliminate the electric strikes between the systems.
The figure below illustrates how to practice equipotential bonding in a network.

Ground Cable
When equipotential bonding, please use a 10 AWG or larger ground cable. The shorter cable
the better, and use a grounding bar to establish an equipotential bonding point.
Note:
The equipotential bonding cable and ground cable are not provided with our product. If needed, please self
purchase it.
 Use Lightning Arrester
Power lightning arrester and signal lightning arrester are used for lighting protection.
Power lightning arrester is used for limiting the voltage surge due to a lightning. If an outdoor
AC power cord should be directly connected to the device, please use a power lightning
arrester.
Note:
Power lightning arrester is not provided with our product. If needed, please self purchase it.
