Mike Puckett delivered a presentation on Grounding and Bonding Electrical Systems at the 2018 Tennessee Engineering Conference. Effective grounding and bonding of electrical systems are important for safety and lightning protection. While this presentation focused on grounding and bonding for lightning protection, safety aspects of grounding and bonding were also addressed. To help understand and appreciate grounding and bonding for lightning protection, the physics of lightning and modes of lightning damage were also reviewed.
