Description
State Requirements

Many people, even electricians, confuse terms relating to electrical bonding and grounding. Unfortunately, if all goes wrong, various serious problems can arise. A home inspector must understand and be able to explain electrical bonding and grounding and understand how they relate to a client’s safety.

This starts with understanding the electrical system in the home. In this one-hour course, home inspectors will learn how to identify the components of a residential electrical system that must be inspected and described under Connecticut regulations, and recognize which elements are excluded from the inspection scope.

Course highlights:

  • Identify the importance and purpose of bonding by recalling the various paths electricity takes.
  • Differentiate between bonding and grounding by identifying the location, purpose, and proper terminology associated with each.
  • Identify improper and proper bonding applications.
  • Recall the purpose of the GES.
  • Define terms associated with the grounding system.
  • Recognize the components of a residential electrical system that must be inspected and described under Connecticut regulations.
  • Identify which elements are excluded from the inspection scope.
