potential equalization (bar) bolts Explanation: Bolts for mounting/attaching a potential equalization bar (or similar device)? I doubt the bolts themselves have any "equalization" capabilities, but I could be wrong... http://www.hyperline.com/catalog/cabinets/gs-e2-c.shtml Reference: http://www.hyperline.com/catalog/cabinets/gs-e2-c.shtml |

| Potentialausgleichsbolzen Connection device for potential equalization conductors Explanation: So übersetzt das jedenfalls DIN auf http://www.beuth.de/langanzeige/DIN 42801/de/835476.html&lim... . So ganz glücklich bin ich aber trotzdem noch nicht. Auf Seite 7 von http://www.mediwar.ch/d/produkte/op/documents/Deckenhangende... werden exakt die als Bolzen bezeichnete Anschlüsse hier als Buchsen aufgeführt - und meiner Meinung nach auch zu Recht. Nicht umsonst vermeidet DIN tunlichst die Verwendung von "bolt". Ich persönlich würde von equipotential bonding terminal sprechen. |

bonding bolt Explanation: This is how I would translated this in the USA. This link, for electrical installations, states: "In addition to the Earth Terminal Bars, a reversible internal/external M8 bonding bolt is provided, complying with the sixteenth edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671)."
