The direct ground connection

Grounding electrodes

The direct connection to earth electrodes buried in the ground, carrying parts of electrical equipment must be electrically isolated, it is vital to ensure that they are not accidentally subjected to dangerous stresses.

The main reason why there should be a proper installation of grounding are:

To protect the lives of humans and animals.
To correct practices of the protections of the teams.
To eliminate or reduce the risk of equipment damage.
Ensuring the reliability of electric service.

The basic characteristics of a good grounding installation are:

To provide a low impedance path to ground.
To support and dispel repeated fault currents and short circuit or lightning strike.
To be sufficiently resistant to corrosion to ensure their performance throughout life of the equipment being protected.
