What is earthing? What is the application of earthing?

Solution

Earthing is defined as “the process in which the instantaneous discharge of the electrical energy takes place by transferring charges directly to the earth through low resistance wire.”

Low resistance earthing wire is chosen to provide the least resistance path for leakage of fault current.

 

​​​Earthing is the safe and the best method of offering safety. We know that the earth’s potential is zero and is treated as Neutral. Since low equipment is connected to earth using low resistance wire, balancing is achieved.
