Last post i already discuss about Earthing system classification.I mention earthing system have a several types such as TT,IT,TN-C,TN-S and TN-C-S.This time i want explain detail about type of earthing systems.
Earthing system is designed followed by electrical system required and the application.It have different earthing system for each electrical application such as consumer power supply,substation,offshore,ships,underground system,generator and over head system.
We must know the suitable earthing types to ensure our system is fully protected and safety.I explains detail about all of five ( 5 ) earthing system types below.I hope it can help to understand about earthing system.
What is the Earthing System?
TT system
This system normally used for consumer power supply.No earthing system provided by power distributor.The owner must install the earthing protection by their own connection to the earth.They must installing a suitable electrode and safe arrangement for which they are responsibility to their installation.
The neutral and earthing conductor must be separately through the installation because power distributor only provide the supply neutral or protective conductor for the connection to consumer.
The advantage of this system is it clear from the noise of high or low frequency,not have risk of neutral broken or failure and suitable for special application like telecommunication.TT system is suitable for premises where all AC power circuits are residual current device (RCD) protected.
IT system
This system is similar with TT system but totally different in earthing supply.The distributor system not have any connection to earth or it have only a high impedance connection.It mean the usual protection is not effective for this system.
This type is not for consumer power supply.It special for power distributor such as substation or generator area.
TN-S system
This system has the neutral of power supply with connection of earth only at one point to the source.the consumer’s earthing terminal is usually connected to the metallic Armour of the distributor’s cable into the HV / LV transformer.
It is commonly used for underground power supply to the premise or factory from the distributor substation to customer substation.This earth terminal is connected by the supply protective conductor (PE) back to the star point (neutral) of the secondary winding of the supply transformer, which is also connected at that point to an earth electrode.
TN-C-S system
This system has the supply neutral conductor of a distribution main connected with earth at source as protective multiple earthing (PME).The supply distributor neutral conductor is also used to return earth fault currents from the consumer installation back to the source with a safely manner.
The power supply distributor will provide a consumer’s earthing terminal which is linked to the incoming neutral conductor.This combined earth and neutral system called the ‘protective and neutral conductor’ (PEN) or the ‘combined neutral and earth’ conductor (CNE).
TN-C system
This system is not familiar or unusual for earthing system.It a combined PEN conductor fulfills the functions of both a PE and an N conductor.The PEN conductor is the sheath of a cable and therefore is concentric with (totally surrounds) the phase conductor(s).
For wiring or cabling purpose,the suitable material is uses mineral insulated cable, the metallic copper sheath being the combined neutral and earth conductor.Normally this system used for ships or offshore platform earthing system.RCD protected is not function properly for this system.
Topic is very beautiful and important information in it, God bless you from all harm, thank you very much
Thanks bro..glad to shared the knowledge :D
i’m going to make a project on earthing…
iam wire man from sent joseph training center i need job.my contact
0716470616.
thank u sir i am trying lo learn about electrical motor wiring by ur drawings thank u so much sir.
Good technical practical information, for day to day works
Thanks
your perfect
Don’t say like that :D im still in leaning process :D
Thanks for sharing information but give me more information
superb knowledge…plz keep sharing …God bless u
Thanks…My pleasure :D
I found good knowledge from this link page
Odlično, nema boljeg objašnjenja
is real a pleasure having u online to share some difficulties in electrical technology, may God provide u abundantly and that may u leave long.
does earthing necessary for installation of boom barrier gate….do we have ned earthing special like house…
thanks for sharing what u have in u,God bless u sir. But i stil want to know how a house that is built on rock as high as 1000km above sea level of 200km.thanks once again
Thank you sir.glad shared the knowledge. Thank you very much
Thanks for visit my blog…
Very good information, well compiled. For on board ships where there is 3 hot lines and no neutral, please give your advise.
Sorry but the text in the first schema is not fully readable.
Thanks for sharing
How many types of earth bit
You can’t give what you don’t have. I really want to commend the publisher of this article for opening our eyes more on earthing process. God bless you.
I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any tips to help fix this issue?

Hi there it’s me, I am also visiting this site on a regular basis, this web page is truly good and the users are genuinely sharing nice thoughts.
Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Taking a
few minutes and actual effort to produce a good article… but what can I say…
I hesitate a whole lot and don’t manage to get anything done.
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it
up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being stolen?
I’d definitely appreciate it.
I don’t unremarkably comment but I gotta say thanks for the post
on this great one :D.
It’s going to be finish of mine day, but before finish I am reading this impressive paragraph to improve my
know-how.
Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Taking
a few minutes and actual effort to create a top notch article?
but what can I say? I put things off a whole lot and never seem to get anything
done.
After I originally left a comment I seem
to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now
on every time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with
the same comment. There has to be an easy method you can remove me from that service?
Appreciate it!
This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more
than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
What’s Going down i’m new to this, I stumbled upon this I’ve discovered
It absolutely useful and it has helped me out loads.
I hope to contribute & assist different users like its helped me.
Great job.
As soon as I found this web site I went on reddit to share some of the love with them.
Very superb info can be found on website.
