Earthing: Keeps Vital Role in Our Life

Asad Zai, Vikas Mathur

Abstract


The aim of present this paper is to highlight the importance of a Earthing system While using electrical appliance which result shows that how the earthlings plays a very vital role for providing safety of human life as well as for avoiding hesitation to touch any insulated part of electrical equipment Failure of insulation followed by connection of live wire with the physical Body of machine or unintentional contacting of High voltage Terminals with the body of machine causes current to adapt a path other than the main circuit path. When the Human body and animate objects come in touch with the body of such a faulted machine, they experience an electric shock. This is because the current spreading in the body of machine finds a path through the body of human who touches the machine. This current is known as earthing current. As we all know that India has developed itself in technology and has invented many new technical advancement, which have many advantages, a part this, electrical appliance has also been kept a vital role in our daily life. The world has become so advanced that we have so many electrical equipment in almost every household today. Life would have been much problematic lacking these discoveries. But we should kept certain preventing modes for using these equipment in electrical equipment’s there is always possibility of leaking current which shock the user, for the prevention from the shock earthing is done.
