等电位联结（Equipotential bonding） Equipotential connection of The potential is two or more voltage equal to a voltage equal to only connected, otherwise they will pass the resistor or capacitor and some other elements to make them equal to bond. A general equipotential connection reduces the contact voltage more effectively than grounding The old concept of the past is where the electrical device to make artificial grounding, the metal shell equipment grounding or repeat grounding, such personal safety, now the concept of what is already out of date. According to the theory of equal potential, but the ground is a potential connection to ground potential as a reference potential, but in many cases it is not the best form of equipotential bonding, i.e. it does not maximize the prevention of electric shock accident. This can be used to illustrate in Figure 1, figure 1 (a), a power supply system grounding, the grounding resistance is RB, but not in the building electrical equipment for the protection of ground, and not for equipotential bonding. As shown, when the damaged insulation equipment, its shell will strip 220V UO phase voltage, this voltage is in contact with the voltage UC of the human body, the human body touches the housing at a great risk of electrocution. In Figure 1 (b) in the protection of housing equipment line (PE line) ground, and made the equipotential bonding, the grounding resistance is RA, such as the occurrence of the above ground fault, there will be a ground fault current of Id by RA, RB returned to the power supply equipment shell to ground voltage is the body contact voltage from 220V UC will be reduced to Id (RA+ZPE), Id can make the protection of electrical lines on the power off. Fig. 1 (a), the risk of electrocution is greatly reduced. If in Figure 1 (c) is shown as the total equipotential connection in the building, the power into the line at the PE bus (metal enclosures of all electrical equipment and buildings connected) through various met
