Earthing Installation Controls

What is earthing installation and why is it done?

Grounding is present in every area where electrical energy is used. The most important reason for its existence is its vital importance. Grounding is a system that ensures that fault currents that may occur in any electrical circuit are transmitted to the ground.

Note: It is required by many regulations and standards, especially the Regulation on Grounding in Electrical Installations.

Important points in grounding measurements and controls

• Co-potential bracing
• Grounding conductor cross-section
• Rated and inrush current values of circuit breaker or fuse
• Earthing system type (TN, TN-S, TN-C, TN-CS, TT, IT)
• The environment where the measurement point is located (dry, wet, humid, etc.)
• Adequacy and calibration of the measuring instrument
• Limit value calculation in accordance with the system type
• Residual Current Switch (Residual Current Relay)
• Distinguishing whether the measured point is indirect touch or direct touch

The above written points are the most important points to be considered and recorded in the periodic controls of grounding installations.
