Why is Earthing So Important?

Why is Earthing So Important? Points : Why is Earthing So Important?, importance of earthing in electricity Human life is involved where electrical apparatus is used, and an electric shock can be fatal. Also a violent short circuit can easily start a disastrous fire on a premises. These are well known facts that are often forgotten when electricity is being used every day. A can be now, tomorrow, five years time, or possible even never. It is because an emergency might never occur that an efficient earthing system is often neither installed ‘nor maintained. Many installations in Pakistan have totally inadequate earthing systems, but this is not realized since a fault has not yet occurred. It is only after someone has been eltrocuted or a building is gutted by fire, that it is realized that little or no protection had been given by the protective system. It is obvious that in their own interests, consumers should insist on an efficient earthing system in the first place, followed by regular testing and thorough maintenance.
