Common Vs Ground

These terms are often interchanged ( I do this often),but they do mean different
things. The term 'Ground' comes from the fact that most electrical systems find a
local voltage level by placing some metal in the earth(ground). This is then
connected to all the electrical outlets in the building. If there is an electrical
fault, the current will be drawn off to the ground. While the term 'Common' refers
to a reference voltage that components of a system will use as common zero voltage.
Therefore the function of the ground is for safety, and the common is for voltage
reference. Sometimes the common and ground are connected.

The most important reason for grounding is human safety.

NB: during any design, assume that no voltage is safe.

Put on safety gears and use electricity test safety devices.
