The Importance of Earthing Copper Wire Systems

THE IMPORTANCE OF EARTHING COPPER WIRE SYSTEMS
2
Grounding, also called earthing is the process of
providing a connection path to all parts in an
electrical installation to the earth. During the
earthing process, metallic components such as the
stay wire, metallic casing, end terminals of the
cable armour etc., dont carry current and are
therefore linked to an earth conductor or
electrode which is buried into moist earth.
3
A thick metal that has low resistance is
preferred for safety purposes. In some cases, the
neutral portion of the power scheme is also
linked to the earth to avoid unforeseen dangers
that may occur during electrical energy
discharge. Earthing copper wires play a
significant role in this procedure.

How are earthing copper wires used?
Earthing strips or plates along with copper wires
are used to create a safety connection to the
earth. Have you ever felt an electrical shock
when touching your fridge or wall? This occurs
due to a poor earthing system. Earthing copper
wires provide a substitute path for electric
current to flow towards the ground. This prevents
electrical shock. The entire earthing process
ensure that all metallic components in an
electrical system are grounded.
5
Why is earthing important?
Earthing is conducted mainly to minimize
accidents and unfortunate incidents such as
electric shocks and fire which may occur due to
current leakage via an unsought path. Sometimes
the metal components in an electrical appliance
can come into contact with a live wire, which may
occur due to poor cable insulation or electrical
installation. In either case the charge builds up
in the metal components and if a person touchs
this particular appliance they might receive a
severe shock.

The intensity of this shock might be so severe
that it interferes with the electrical activity
of the heart causing it to fail leading to
sudden death. Unfortunate incidents like these
can be avoided using proper earthing techniques
with copper wires. This ensures that electrical
charges are given a path into the earth.
