shown on the following pages
TT network
In a TT earthing system, the protective earth Generator Set Distribution network
connection for the consumer is provided by a local

earth electrode, and there is another independently
installed at the generator. There is no ‘earth wire’
between the two.

In an IT network, the electrical distribution system Generator Set Distribution network
has no connection to earth at all, or it has only a

high impedance connection.
