The method of connecting non-current carrying portions to earth or ground, such as the metallic frame of an electrical device or certain electrical components of a power system, such as the neutral point ofstar-connected system, is known as grounding, also referred to as earthing.To avoid accidents &damage to the system’s equipment, electrical systems should always be grounded.This postwill discuss grounding conductors and how to determine the appropriate size for a grounding conductor based

What is a Grounding Conductor?A grounding conductor is defined as a wire or conductor intentionally connected to the earth. The grounding conductor is commonly known as a “ground conductor” or “case ground.”In most cases, the ground wire is connected with a case or outer part of the electrical box, appliances, or tools. Hence, the grounding conductor is also known as case ground.The grounding conductor is used for safety purposes. In normal conditions, the grounding wire does not carry current.U
