conductors
capable
of
carrying
the
prospective earth fault current and a group
pipe/ rod/ plate electrodes for dissipating the
current to the general mass of earth without
exceeding the allowable temperature limits
as per the relevant BIS Specifications in order
to maintain all non-current carrying metal
works reasonably at earth potential and to
avoid dangerous contact potential being
developed on such metal works.

Function of Earthing
Provides ground connection for grounded
neutral system.
Provides
discharge path for lightning
arrestor.
Provides
means
of
discharging/
deenergizing equipment before releasing the
same for maintenance.
Ensures that non-current carrying parts i.e.
equipment frame etc are always safety at
ground potential even through insulation
fails.
