• System Grounding: connect the “live” portion of the electrical system to ground, e.g. neutral
• Equipment Grounding: connect a part (having no current) of the equipment to ground, e.g. case

“live” portions of the electrical system
• Protect Overvoltage: specially from lightning
• Stabilize voltage level referring to ground
• Be part of protection circuit: be part of the short-circuit current

• NEC Standard
• The source– is stepped down from more than 150V
– is stepped down from the ungrounded system
• Cable in over the ground outside the building

• Usually two points of grounding: at the transformer and at the main distribution box
• “Main Bonding Jumper” connects the metal part of the main distribution box to ground
• “Main Bonding Jumper” (now) connects to the grounded conductor
• Same calculation as “System Grounding”
Assumption University Thailand
GroundingSeparately Derived System
19
• Electrical systems that are separated inside the facility (after the utility): e.g. from utility and generator
• Common Neutral: grounded only at the main distribution box
• Isolated Neutral: grounded separately and have the isolated ground rod

Grounding for the “non-live” metal portion
• The enclosure has the same potential level as the ground (protected for human contact)
• Improve short-circuit protection: conductor touching enclosure
• Path for the leakage current

GroundingEquipment Grounding – What to be grounded?
21
• Metal enclosure & Protected Fence: metal conduit, panelboard enclosure, electric crane, elevator’s enclosure
• Protected fence: HV station
• Electrical Appliance specially with outlet: more than 150V, except having proper insulator (e.g. double insulator)
Assumption University Thailand
22
• Fixed Equipment with hard wires specially able to be touched– Close contact to human: grounded within 2.4m from
ground and 1.5m from wall
– Electrical contact to metal
– Wet area

• Tables (if common ground cable, take maximum one)
– In general: according to rating of CB
– For motor: according to the rating of overload protection.

31
• 2,3 or 4 characters
• 1st: relation between distribution system and earth
– T means single point connecting to earth
– I means isolated from earth
Assumption University Thailand
Earthing Scheme
32
• 2nd: relation exposed conductive part and earth– T means no connection to the electrical system
– N means there is a connection between the exposed conductive and electrical system (neutral)

Earthing Scheme
33
• 3rd(if any): arrangement of neutral (N) and protective conductor (PE)– S means separation between N & PE
– C means common between N & PE

• By E.I.T. standard 5 Ohm
• Some area, authority might allow up to 25 Ohm
• If cannot achieve, try adding extra electode
