TRANSFERRING OF FLAMMABLES OR USE IN HAZARDOUS DUTY
ENVIROMENTS
Bonding is an electrical connection between a primary metal vessel
and a metal receiving vessel. See Schematic.
Grounding is an electrical connection between a metal vessel, pump,
motor and a constant ground; i.e. a metal rod driven into the earth.
Bonding and grounding are
required
when
pumping
flammable materials or in
hazardous duty enviroments.
Failure to bond and ground
properly can cause a discharge
of static electricity resulting in
fire, injury or death. Please
always take care of the official
safety authority regulation. If
in doubt, do not start pump!
Be
sure
bonding
and
grounding wires are secure
before
starting
operation.
(Ground and bond wires must
have less than one ohm
resistance for safe usage.
Check
continuity
before
starting.) Always check with a
safety engineer when any
question
arises
and
periodically
check
safety
procedures with a safety
engineer.
