Methods and are limited special situations under the effective super-
vision trained personnel. Not only must all the
metalwork associated with the electrical installation connected,

cal appliances, but Regulation 411. protective equipotential bonding coupled with automatic discon-

This method relies upon all exposed metalwork being electrically con-
nected together effective earth connection.
There are five methods protection against contact with metalwork which
has become unintentionally live, that is, indirect contact with exposed con-
ductive parts recognized the IEE Regulations. The application
of protective equipotential bonding one the important principles for
safety.
In Chapter the IEE Regulations are told that where the metalwork
of electrical equipment may become charged with electricity such a
manner cause danger, that metalwork will connected with earth
so discharge the electrical energy without danger.2.
The method which most universally used the United Kingdom is,
therefore, Method protective equipotential bonding coupled with auto-
matic disconnection the supply.2) achieved connecting exposed conductive parts equipment
to the main protective earthing terminal.2 tells connect the extrane-
ous metalwork water service pipes, gas and other service pipes and
ducting, central heating and air conditioning systems, exposed metallic
structural parts the building and lightning protective systems the pro-
tective earthing terminal. this way the possibility voltage appear-
ing between two exposed metal parts removed.
Method the use Class insulated equipment limited single
pieces equipment such tools used construction sites, because it
relies upon effective supervision ensure that metallic equipment or
extraneous earthed metalwork enters the area the installation.1. the use earth free equipotential bonding,
