What is the difference between grounding & earthing?

Answer Posted / nithi

grounding & earthing are different.

GROUNDING:If the live point (current carrying part)of the
system is earthed ,it is called as grounding.

EX: In star connected system,the neutral point is
grounded.

EARTHING:If the non-live point(other than current carrying
part )of the system is earthed,it is called as earthing.

EX:Earthing of outer frame of the electrical machine.
