Electrical bonding is the practice of intentionally electrically connecting all exposed metallic noncurrent items in a room or building as protection from electric shock. If a failure of electrical insulation occurs, all bonded metal objects in the room will have substantially the same electrical potential, so that an person of the room cannot touch two objects with significantly different potentials. Even if the connection to a distant earth/ground is lost, the person will be protected from dangerous potential differences.
In a building with electricity it is normal for safety reasons to connect all metal objects such as pipes together to the mains earth to form an Equipotential zone. This is done in the developed countries like U.S.A, U.K etc because many buildings are supplied with a single phase supply cable where the neutral and earth conductors are combined. Close to the electricity meter this conductor is divided into two, the earth terminal and the wire going to the neutral bus bar in the consumer unit. In the event of a break in a neutral connection this earth terminal provided by the supply company will be at a potential (relative to the true earth) which is the same as the live wire coming to the home.
