Question

WHAT IS EARTHING in Electricity​

Answer 1

Answer:

The process of transferring the immediate discharge of the electrical energy directly to the earth by the help of the low resistance wire is known as the electrical earthing. The electrical earthing is done by connecting the non-current carrying part of the equipment or neutral of supply system to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The immediate discharge of the electrical energy directly to the earth by using a wire with a low resistance to achieve the transfer is known as the electrical earthing.

• The earthing provides a pathway for the leakage current.
• The current passes to the earth having zero potential.
• Hence, it is a way of protecting electrical pieces of equipment.

The earthing can be classified into two parts:

1. Neutral Earthing: In this, the system is directly connected to the earth. Examples of neutral earthing are generator, transformer, motor.
2. Equipment Earthing:  In this metallic frame is connected to the earth with the help of the conducting wire.
