rezystencja połączenia wyrównawczego//scieżki uziemiającej Explanation: electrical bonding jest połączeniem wyrównawczym https://www.diki.pl/slownik-angielskiego?q=electrical bondin... https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Połączenie_wyrównawcze https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Połączenie_wyrównawcze cccccccccccc What is the process of grounding and bonding a solar PV array? The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires bonding electrically conductive materials and equipment to establish an effective ground-fault current path. In general, bonding a piece of equipment means connecting it to an equipment grounding conductor (EGC) that is bonded to the overall grounding electrode system. The goal is to take all of the metal in a system that could become energized during a fault (besides the current-carrying conductors) and connect them together so they are effectively one piece of metal. That “one” piece of metal is then connected, by EGCs, back to the source of power, completing a circuit for any fault current. Bonding prevents a host of possible risks and dangers. “Imagine: the insulation on a PV source circuit wire becomes damaged, and the current-carrying part of the conductor makes contact with a frame or rail,” said Brian Mehalic, PV Curriculum Developer and Instructor at Solar Energy International. “Now that metal, which is not normally part of the circuit, has potential voltage relative to whichever pole in the DC circuit is not faulted, and may even be carrying current during system operation. This is a dangerous situation, because there is now the possibility of a fire, as well as a shock hazard.” https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2015/08/what-is-the-pr... |
