NEC Article 250 covers grounding and bonding to ensure electrical safety by stabilizing voltage and providing a low-impedance path for fault current. Grounding connects the system to the earth, while Bonding links metallic parts for continuity. Proper grounding and bonding ensure overcurrent devices trip, protecting against shocks.  Key Grounding and Bonding Concepts: Grounding Electrode System (NEC 250.52): A reliable, direct connection to the earth, such as a ground rod, concrete-encased electrode (Ufer), or metal water pipe, must be used.
