Where the equipment bonding jumper is installed on the outside of a raceway, generally the length is limited to not more than____. In addition the equipment bonding jumper must be routed with the raceway...

Section 250.146(A) A: Bonding

_____ metallic parts together puts the parts at the same potential.

equipotential

in mathematics and physics refers to a region in space where every point in it is at the same potential

bonded (bonding)

is the practice of intentionally electrically connecting all exposed metallic items not designed to carry electricity in a room or building as protection from electric shock. If a failure of electrical insulation occurs, all bonded metal objects in the room will have substantially the same electrical potential, so that an occupant of the room cannot touch two objects with significantly different potentials. Even if the connection to a distant earth ground is lost, the occupant will be protected from dangerous potential differences.
