EB&G & EPZs
I mentioned yesterday in another post, that I'd share part of my EB&G Module. There are multiple pages, appendices, math, and explanations of the physics behind EB&G. More than I can share here in a single post. So here is the Introduction and a small example of the content there. I've also included a link at the bottom to the full Instructional Guide. INTRODUCTION — READ THIS BEFORE YOU TOUCH A SINGLE GROUND This guide isn’t about checkboxes, compliance, or the watered-down version of grounding most of this trade grew up with. This is the real thing — the physics, the math, and the Brotherhood-level discipline behind Equipotential Bonding & Grounding (EB&G) and Equipotential Zones (EPZs). Most linemen were taught what to do, not why it works. And when you don’t know the why, you end up relying on habit, luck, or whatever the old-timer before you believed. That’s not good enough anymore. Not in a trade where one wrong assumption can kill you faster than you can blink. This instructional guide gives you the truth — the science underneath the clamps, the equations underneath the current flow, and the principles underneath the Brotherhood’s approach to keeping each other alive. If you understand this guide, you’re not just following grounding procedures… you’re engineering survival with every bond you make. https://www.skool.com/lineman-bullshit/classroom/11154309?md=2f1d6fe97ad64aa887632ac8b3f2879e

I have sat through grounding training before and the instructor has said that "if we EPZ ground the guy on the pole would never feel a thing if something were to go wrong." Electricity follows all paths!!!! and those instructors that say statements like this wont have the respect of lineman. The man on the pole may not be killed but he may also get exposed to voltage if there is a mishap.....it may not be lethal because there is a better path close by but you cant convince me that the other paths and potential wont all so voltage. If someone is going to train this train it accurately!!!!

@Kevin Robinson 100% and the people pushing the narrative that EPZ will result in zero exposure need to stop because they dont know that to be true
