Answer / nandhakumar

grounding is connecting of all terminals to the neutral.but
earthing is made to provide saftey for the home appliances

Answer / jigyesh sharma

grounding is power system grounding...ie connecting netural
point to earth...


where as earthing is...proctection against....faults on
body of equipment...

Answer / pavunraj.p

Earthing is the main source to protect the system which
consists of various devices by connecting to the ground
whereas grounding is the process of connecting all the
devices to a common point which is the earthing point.

Answer / ahmadmukhtiar

Grounding is used as a reference which may not be exactly 0
volts. Whereas Earthing is the direct connection of the
neutral to earth that is 0 volts. Grounding may contain
voltage with reference to earth.

Answer / dipak thumar-baroda

grounding and earthing both are for providing path for
electrical current to earth but grounding is for return
current either from neutral or for some protective schemes
where as earthing is for leakage current under healthy
condition.

Answer / abdul

earthing: to provide low impedence path for currents to flow
grounding: to provide ref or zero voltage to a network

Answer / kumar manish

Earthing: It is done for the protection of human life/ user
of an electrical equipment. It simply means connecting all
the metallic parts of an electrical equipment to the earth
potential. Even in the absence of any backup protection if
a phase/ live wire is shorted with the metallic part of the
equipment body; as the user and the equipment will be at
the same potential and hence will not get any shock!
Grounding: It is purposely done to create a zero potential
in a live circuit. Commonly it is the neutral in a circuit
that is grounded, one good reason is the detection of an
earth fault in a grounded power system. In electronics
circuit it is done to avoid unnecessary noise(voltage build
up) in the circuits due to Radio Frequencies.

Answer / jigar desai

earthing is a point at where there may be a potential but grounding is a point where there is only zero potential

Answer / vijay kumar

both are different, in grounding we need not connect to earth. we can call one common point as ground. whereas in earthing body of the electrical equipment should physically connected to earth...

Hi, I've just got into my electrical engineering course and I need some help with a question of mine here. During a site visit, we were shown a main LT panel which has switchgears, ammeters and different kinds of relays and the distribution network from that panel. In the main LT panel I've noted down the current readings as Ir - 163A, Iy - 150A and Ib - 147A. The Line to Line voltage is 415 V at 50 Hz and Line to Neutral voltage is 230V at 50 Hz. From the above details, how would I calculate the kVA rating of transformer? The primary side voltage of the transformer is 11 kV and the secondary side voltage is 415V and the frequency is 50 Hz.
