Related but different functions
Grounding and bonding are often discussed together, but they serve distinct roles in an electrical installation. Understanding that distinction helps place each practice in its applicable code context.
Installation conditions affect protection
Protective devices operate within a larger wiring system. Correct conductors, connections and installation practices are therefore part of the safety context rather than optional background details.
Use qualified installation guidance
The explanation is not project-specific wiring guidance. Actual installations still need to follow the adopted code, product instructions and qualified professional practice.
