How can the bonding of appliances be confirmed?

The bonding of appliances can be confirmed using an ohm meter because this tool measures electrical resistance in a circuit. When checking the bonding of appliances, one would be looking for a low resistance value, which indicates that the equipment is properly bonded to the grounding system. This is important for ensuring safety, as effective bonding helps prevent electric shock and ensures that any fault currents are safely directed to ground.

Using an ohm meter allows for accurate readings of the continuity and effectiveness of the bonding connections. A low resistance reading confirms that there are no issues with the connection, indicating that the appliance is properly grounded.

While other tools such as volt meters, receptacle testers, and ammeters have their uses in different contexts of electrical testing, they do not specifically provide the necessary information about resistance and continuity that is required to confirm proper bonding. Volt meters measure voltage, receptacle testers check for wiring issues and grounding in outlets, and ammeters measure electric current, none of which directly assess the resistance that would indicate proper bonding.
