What are the types of electrical earthing with respect to Electrodes?

Electrical earthing is classified into many types as Neutral earthing Body earthing Pipe earthing Plate earthing Chemical earthing Ground Compound Earthing


Can stranded 8 SWG GI wire be used for motor earthing?

The size of grounding wires is dependant upon what the motor current category the motor fall into. The higher the motor amperage is, the higher the fault current will be so the larger the conductor size has to be to carry the fault current.


How could an improper electrical earthing connection affect an appliance?

In a properly operating appliance, there is no connection between any of its internal wiring and its chassis and/or its metal case, if there is one. As such, the earthing connection being improper will not affect the operation of the appliance.However, and this is critical, an improper earthing connection can present an electrocution hazard to the user...If the earth connection were electrically live or "hot", for instance, then the chassis of the appliance would also become live or "hot". Touching it, along with a real earth connection such as a water faucet, could cause electrocution.Additionally, if the earth connection is simply missing, then an internal malfunction within the appliance could cause the chassis and/or its metal case, if there is one, to become live or "hot", creating the same risk of electrocution.The purpose of the earthing connection is - in the event of appliance malfunction - to cause a high enough fault current that will force the protective device (fuse or circuit breaker) to trip and break the supply of current to the appliance.

What is the difference between Load Current Line Current and Phase Current?

A load current is a current drawn by an electrical load. In other words, it is the current flowing from the source to the load.For a single-phase system, a line current is a current flowing through the line, or 'hot', conductor, while the current through the neutral conductor is called the neutral current.For a three-phase system, the three 'hot' conductors between the load and the source are called 'lines' and, so, the currents passing through them are called 'line currents'. For a three-phase system, loads are either connected between line conductors (delta-connected system) or between each line and the neutral (star- or wye-connected system), and represent the phases -so the currents passing through the loads are called 'phase currents'.For a balanced three-phase system, the line current is 1.732 times the value of a phase current, where the phases (loads) are connected in delta. For phases (loads) connected in star (or 'wye') the line current is numerically-equal to the phase currents.
