What is electrical grounding?..

Answer / Sundar

Electrical grounding refers to the practice of connecting an electrical circuit or system to the Earth or to a conducting body that extends to the Earth, usually for safety or as a reference point. The main purpose of electrical grounding is to maintain electrical potentials in a system at ground (or zero) volts, thereby preventing electric shock and equipment damage.
