Bonding
Bonding is a method for connecting two or more grounding conductors to the same electrical potential. This is done through
the use of a field service electrostatic discharge (ESD) kit. When connecting a bonding wire, ensure that it is connected to bare

ensure that you remove all jewelry such as watches, bracelets, or rings prior to bonding yourself and the equipment.
