IT system earthing
TT Earthing system
The neutral is directly earthed,
The exposed conductive parts of the loads are
interconnected , either together or in groups or individually
earthed

TN Earthing system
The neutral point is directly earthed
The exposed conductive parts of the loads are connected to
the neutral conductor
There are two possible
There are two possible system depending on whether the
neutral conductor (N) and protective conductor (PE) are on
the same or not
TN – C Earthing system
The Neutral and protective conductors form a single
conductor called PEN
It is advised to connect PEN to ground
TN – s Earthing system
The Neutral and protective conductors are separate
It is advised to regularly to connect the protective conductor
to earth

TN – C –S Earthing system
With this arrangement the main distributor neutral is
also used to return earth fault current arising in
consumer installation safety to the source. To achieve
this the distribution will provide consumer earthing
terminal which is linked to the coming neutral
conductor
System Earthing
The system earthing, that is to say the connection between
the transformer neutral points and earth, is of high
importance to the behavior of a power system during an
unsymmetrical fault
Equipment Earthing
Earthing all metal work of electrical equipments earthing
other than which are normally live or current carrying.
Soil resistivity
The resistance to earth of an electrode of given dimension
dependent on the electrical resistivity of the soil in which it is
installed

Indirect contact
Refers to a person coming in
contact with an exposed
conductive parts of which in not
normally alive bus has become
alive accidentally
