Ground Electricity | Earthing And Grounding | Importance Of Earthing

In this civil engineering article, you will gather knowledge on earthing and grounding, importance of earthing and types of earthing in building construction.

In electricity supply systems, an earthing system or grounding system is circuitry that attaches the segments of the electric circuit with the ground and determines the electric potential of the conductors corresponding to the earth’s conductive surface.

Earthing System: Regulations for earthing system differ significantly between several segments of electric systems. Most low voltage systems attach one supply conductor to the earth (ground).

An earthing system is primarily applied for the following applications :-

1. To safeguard a structure from lighting strike, operating the lighting via the earthing system and into the ground rod in spite of moving through the structure. 2. It is a vital part of the safety system of mains electricity that resolves issues related to floating ground and sky voltage. 3. The most general ground plane for large monopole antenna and some other types of radio antenna.

Usages of earthing:

1. Safeguard human from lighting and earth fault situation. 2. Safeguard the premises from lighting and earth fault situation. 3. Offer low resistance and safe path for lighting and fault current. 4. All metallic enclosure and extraneous conductive parts remain at equipotential. 5. LV system earth
