some of our friends not agreed to my earlier reply . let me
clarify "earthing" & "grounding" are the terminology used
one in UK & other in USA. But the finally it mean the same
thing. ie . when some point of electrical system is made

in it due to malfunctioning of insulation.
Grounding : It is related to system, intentionally neutral
or Star point is earthed for stability of the system.
