EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE BUILDINGS

Why is there no equipotential bonding in the network cabinet

Why is there no equipotential bonding in the network cabinet

A network cabinet without an equipotential bonding bar would not have a designated area for connecting all the equipment grounds and bonding conductors. Supplementary bonding is the practice of connecting two conductive simultaneously accessible parts together to reduce the potential difference between the parts. At ACCL we spend our days surrounded by copper, fibre and ever‑hungrier IT loads. Protective equipotential bonding: All metal building parts, protective conductors, lightning protection systems and earthing systems are connected to a central equipotential bonding bar (the main EBB).

Technical briefing on cable trays and cables in factory buildings

Technical briefing on cable trays and cables in factory buildings

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) provides detailed guidelines for cable tray systems under IEC 61537. This standard outlines the construction requirements, testing methods, and performance parameters for cable trays and related support systems. Cable trays play a vital role in supporting electrical cables and wires in commercial, industrial, and utility installations. For proper installation, design, and maintenance, adherence to international standards is essential.

Is 6-core fiber optic cable a good choice for smart buildings in Zimbabwe

Is 6-core fiber optic cable a good choice for smart buildings in Zimbabwe

This method of data transmission offers several advantages over traditional copper cables, including greater bandwidth, reduced interference, and enhanced security, making it ideal for modern smart building infrastructures. Terrestrial fiber refers to cables deployed on land (inside buildings, in ducts, direct‑buried, or on aerial plant) as opposed to undersea systems. In the ever-evolving landscape of telecommunications, the 6-core fiber optic cable has emerged as a crucial player, enabling high-speed data transmission and supporting the growing demand for bandwidth-intensive applications.

Standard for reserved openings for electrical distribution boxes in residential buildings

Standard for reserved openings for electrical distribution boxes in residential buildings

The National Electrical Code (NEC), published as NFPA 70, sets minimum safety standards for electrical junction boxes in residential and commercial buildings. A conduit body is a removable-cover section of a conduit system that provides access at junctions or termination points. Since April 2023, the Building Safety Regulator has a duty under the Building Safety Act 2022 to keep under review the safety and standards of all buildings in England, which includes advising government on updates to the Approved Documents. Yet the distribution box is a highly complex component that not only ensures safe power distribution, but is also responsible for protection in an emergency. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about installing, expanding or replacing a distribution box - from the legal. See regulations for details of alternative options using combinations of RCD and MCB. 3 to BS 7671:2008 (IET Wiring Regulations Seventeenth Edition), which was published in January and comes into effect on 1 July, will include a new regulation requiring consumer units and similar switchgear assemblies in domestic premises to have a non-combustible enclosure.
