How to apply earthing equipment

The schematic above illustrates the key elements of an effective earthing system.

An effective earthing system is a fundamental requirement of any modern structure or system for operational and/or safety reasons. Without such a system, the safety of a structure, the equipment contained within it and its occupants is compromised.

Earthing systems typically fall into (but are not limited to) one of the following categories:

-power generation, transmission and distribution

-lightning protection

-control of undesirable static electricity

-telecommunications.
