Earthing mins it is connected to dead parts like enclosure, machine body, base frame, etc. it does not carries current in under normal condition. used as a current path for fault condition, so it become safety for eqnt and human being.

Grounding is connected to live part. it gives return path for machine to power source. it carries current in normal condition. for example grounded star connected power transformer and star connected motor neutral.

why do motors burn out? I understand why adding parallel loads to a power source means more current moves through the circuit, and can destroy circuit elements by overheating. What about when you have a vaccuum cleaner intake flush against a floor, a room fan sitting directly against a wall, or a power drill trying to drill through something too hard?
