A primary bonding busbar (PBB) serves as the dedicated extension of the building grounding electrode systems for telecommunications bonding infrastructure. Check all that apply
Was formerly referred to as Telecommunication main grounding busbar ( TMGB )
Located in the entrance facility (EF) but placed to minimize the length of the telecommunications bonding conductor ( TBC ) from the PBB to the grounding electrode system
A minimum of 4 inches in height
Have an isolated mount and a minimum of 2 inch clearance behind the busbar
The grounding equalizer ( GE ) is now referred to as backbone bonding conductor ( BBC ) , is an insulated stranded conductor with a minimum size of 6 AWG
ISO/IEC 30129 was published in 2015 specifically for telecommunications bonding infrastructure as an international standard.
