Earthing, also known as grounding, is the process of connecting electrical systems or devices to the earth to ensure safety and prevent electrical shocks.
1. Safety: Protects people and equipment from electrical shocks.
2. Fault Protection: Provides a path for fault currents to flow to the earth.
3. Voltage Stabilization: Helps to stabilize voltage levels.
1. Plate Earthing: Uses a metal plate buried in the earth.
2. Pipe Earthing: Uses a metal pipe buried in the earth.
3. Rod Earthing: Uses a metal rod driven into the earth.
1. Improved Safety: Reduces risk of electrical shocks.
2. Equipment Protection: Protects equipment from damage.
3. Reliability: Enhances system reliability.
1. Electrical Power Systems: Used in power generation, transmission, and distribution.
2. Industrial Applications: Used in industrial settings.
3. Residential and Commercial: Used in homes and commercial buildings.
