What is Earthing?
What are the primary purposes of earthing?
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.
