My name is Bond. Although I am not as famous as my counter part, James, I can just as deadly as any of 007's gadgets or his beloved 7.65mm Walther PPK. No I am not in Her Majesties' service, nor do I have the opportunity to see exotic places, kiss the pretty babes or hobnob with the rich and famous like James. No, I am stuck at home and put in the position to protect you and your loved ones from potential danger and even death. My name is Bond - Panel Bond.
My purpose is entirely for safety/emergency purposes only. I am never to be used to carry current during normal operations. In the event of electrical mishaps, static discharges, lightning strikes, etc., I am here to provide a better path to ground than you. And, we all know that it only takes a small amount of current to stop your heart.
That being said, I can only work to serve and protect you if I am installed correctly. In this electric panel in a new construction property in Brentwood, TN., not only did the licensed electrician fail to install this item properly, but the codes department did not catch the missing bond screw as well. Can we say OOPSIE!.
Many folks forgo the formality of having new homes inspected because it has been inspected by codes. Right? A good thorough home inspection is just another set of eyes to ensure quality control. All homes - new or experienced need to be inspected. Need I say more?
Wishing all my fellow drips and tweeps a G-r-r-r-reat day... 8-)
