What is a TT System?

• In a TT system, the earth and neutral conductors are separate.

• The neutral conductor is directly connected to the earth.

• Neither the neutral nor the live conductors are connected to earth.

• It is a system that allows for multiple connections to earth.

What is a TN System?

• The earth and neutral conductors are separate.

• The neutral conductor is directly connected to the earth.

• Neither the neutral nor the live conductors are connected to earth.

• It is a system that allows for multiple connections to earth.

What is an IT System?

• The earth and neutral conductors are separate.

• The neutral conductor is directly connected to the earth.

• Neither the neutral nor the live conductors are connected to earth.

• It is a system that allows for multiple connections to earth.
