GROUNDING

What is Grounding? The Earthing System (Grounding System)is a conductor that connects electrical appliances to the ground. It helps direct leaked electricity to the ground or back to the electrical system to prevent accidents, ensuring that users are not harmed by unexpected electric shocks.

Why is Grounding Important in Electrical Systems? 1. When an electrical leakage occurs, grounding allows the current to flow into the ground, reducing the risk of electric shocks or fatalities. 2.Helps stabilize voltage, preventing overvoltage in the system. 3. Protects electrical appliances by reducing the risk of sparks or fire hazards. 4.Enhances the efficiency and longevity of electrical appliances.
