HOWEVER, DURING THE INITIAL INSTALLATION, ONE OF THE TWO EMPLOYEES (EMPLOYEE #1) HAD FAILED TO ENSURE THAT A BONDING JUMPER FOR THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR HAD BEEN CONNECTED. ADDITIONALLY, A WIRING ERROR HAD BEEN MADE--ONE OF THE CIRCUIT CONDUCTORS HAD BEEN CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING CONDUCTOR FOR THE TRANSFORMER. THE TWO EMPLOYEES WERE NOW CONNECTING THE BONDING JUMPER.
