BONDING: The permanent joining of


metallic parts to form an electrically
conducive path which will assure electrical
continuity and the capacity to conduct safely
any current likely to be imposed
BRANCH CIRCUIT: The circuit conductors
between the final overcurrent device
protecting the circuit and the outlets
CABLE: Either a stranded conductor with or

CIRCUIT BREAKER: A device designed to


open and close a circuit by non-automatic
means and to open the circuit automatically
on a pre-determined overcurrent without
injury to itself when properly applied within
its rating
DEMAND FACTOR: The ratio of the
maximum demand of a system, or part of a
system, to the total connected load of a
system or the part of the system under
consideration
