Grounding and Bonding
​
In electrical engineering, ground or earth is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the earth.
​
An earth ground connection of the exposed conductive parts of electrical equipment helps protect from electric shock by keeping the exposed conductive surface of connected devices close to earth potential when a failure of electrical insulation occurs.
In addition to electric power systems, other systems may require grounding for safety or function. Structures may have lightning rods as part of a system to protect them from lightning strikes. Telegraph lines may use the Earth as one conductor of a circuit, saving the cost of installation of a return wire over a long circuit. Radio antennas may require particular grounding for operation, as well as to control static electricity and provide lightning protection.

Application of Earthing
​
-
Protect Humans against Lightning and Earth Fault.
-
Protect premises against lightning and earth fault conditions.
-
Provide low resistance and safe path for lightning and fault current.
