Never Confuse youself with these two words . Earthing &
grounding means the same thing .

In America & Canada word Grounding is used ( GND )
and in rest Part of the world including india , word
earthing is prefferd.

However, the significane of these two words is exactly the
same.

Thanks........

Answer / usman saleem

"Grounding" is the preferred term in the US and "Earthing"
is the preferred term in England. Other countries would
likely have equivalent terms, but in their own languages.
The earth is the ground, e.g., to a farmer. When A/C power
is generated by a huge electric generator it usually
supplies electricity using three conductors all out of
phase with each other (three phase electricity) and an
additional conductor connects to ground (or earth). You can
see the three wires that result atop most power poles and
high-tension lines. When you "ground" one phase you get 110
Volts, two phases obtain 220 Volts and all three phases
obtain 440 Volts, but all circuits are also grounded to
complete the "circuit" back to the generating station.
Houses receive 110 and 220 Volts service for light bulbs
and clothes driers, respectively. Machine shops also need
440 Volts service for large motors which are the reverse of
three-phase generators. All these circuits require proper
grounding (earthing) to avoid electrocutions that could
occur if a person accidentally completed the ground (earth).

both r same

Answer / arun naheru

Generally both are same but in detail when we connect any
equipment (i.e. motor, mixture, washing machine or any
house hold equipment) with the earth through earth wire its
called earthing …. And when we earth any system like star
point of generator or transformer is called Grounding….(as
per my knowledge)

Answer / sanjay chakraborty

The grounding and earthing is same function made up of
materials that is electrically conductive. A fault current
will flow to 'earth' through the live conductor, provided it
is earthed or ground . This is to prevent a potentially
live conductor from rising above the safe level . All
exposed metal parts of an electrical installation or
electrical appliance must be earthed or ground .

Answer / engr. l. o. osuji

Both are the same. It is a matter of choice between the
two. For example, on a 132/33kV star-delta T/F the zig-zag
T/F on the delta side may be referred to as earthing T/F or
grounding T/F.

Answer / sudheesh

grounding means the neutral point in an ac supply and
earthing is the wire used to dip in earth it is highly
thickness wire

Answer / sakshi

dnt get confuse wid dis both r d same thing there is no diff bw these.........

Answer / aravinda d

both are same
i have find some little deffrence
grounding means leakage current but earth fail situation
earthing means good condition connected poth

When we change the tap position of 10MVA transformer it suddenly tripped with Out of step indication and also with Static differential relay indication, Transformer Bucholz relay indn and Low oil level indication. Before 1 week the same problem occured by changing the tap position. but at that time only oltc bucholz relay activated. After testing the TxR Relay team & PET team cant find any solid reason. The values are ok also. So plz answer wat's the reason for this incident? anybody plz help.
