CSST Bonding: What is it? (And Why is it Necessary?)

What is CSST Bonding? CSST (Corrugated Stainless-Steel Tubing) bonding is a technique in which a conductor is electrically connected to CSST metallic gas piping and then connected to the grounding electrode system to provide a low impedance path to the ground. CSST Bonding is used to reduce the poss

Dead Short: What is it? (vs Short Circuit vs Bolted Fault vs Ground Fault)

What is a Dead Short? A dead short is an electrical circuit that results in current flowing along an unintended path with no resistance or impedance. This results in an excessive current flowing through the circuit, which can damage equipment or cause electrical shocks to those nearby. A dead short
