Unlike the past days, when electrical wires were found dangling here and there, electrical standards have primarily evolved. Earthing material manufacturers in Kolkata are now paying heed to improve the installations, ensure safety and prevent voltage fluctuations through electric wirings. Choosing the correct type of earthing system is crucial for you and your family’s safety.

You’ve to choose the earthing system at the very beginning of the installation process. Irrespective of the type of system you choose, ensure that the neutral is connected close to the transformer. If you choose IT or TT, or TN-C systems, then manufacturers suggest selecting a separate transformer to avoid any disturbances.

To make the right choice, you’ve to know the electromagnetic compatibility of each type of earthing system. You’ll get these common earthing types from every manufacturer. Just be alert while making a choice.

What are the standard earthing systems?

TT

In this type of earthing system, the electricity supplying end is connected with the earth on the other end. They are safe for household uses. The energy availability for electric appliances is also good if you use TT earthing system. However, there’s a slight chance of overvoltage if this is used.

IT

This earthing system is different and doesn’t have any connections with the earth. Hence if there’s a problem with the earthing, the system will continue to function. However, manufacturers don’t prefer using this type of system for consumer power supplying appliances. IT system is majorly used for generators. The energy availability is thus excellent if you use this system. There’s always a risk of high voltage while using this system; thus, the electromagnetic compatibility is high here.

TN-C

This system can efficiently work with simple current protections. Moreover, this system is popular because of its low cost. Especially the PE conductor used in this system is highly affordable, and people prefer using the same. However, in terms of protecting the property, it doesn’t excel in the field. Due to the high flow of current in thousand amps, the protection of the property is not a feasible option for this system.

TN-S

In this system, the ground and the earthing conductors are separated from each other. The conductive parts are connected via protective conductors and earthing terminals. However, protective earthing materials are required throughout the installation process. Although this system can protect people, it doesn’t safeguard the properties as very high amps current passes through.

Although every system has its pros and cons, it is advisable to use EMC filters and overvoltage protectors. You always have to be alert about any leakages to prevent unwanted accidents or health damages caused by any electric appliances.
