Earthing and Grounding or Protective Earthing

AI Thread Summary
Earthing refers to the bonding of equipment and circuits to a common earth electrode potential, while protective earthing (PE) is specifically for personal safety. Grounding is used for interference suppression in systems at ground level. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on low-impedance earthing, primary and secondary earthing systems, and the types of earthing electrodes available. Participants suggest consulting local regulations, such as the IEE Wiring Regulations in the UK, for detailed guidance. A focused question would facilitate more productive discussions on these topics.

1 “earthing” for bonding of equipment and circuits to common plant
earth electrode potential,
2 “protective earthing (PE)” when this bonding is required for personal
safety provisions
3 “grounding” for interference suppressing bonding of screens, sys-
tems with ground level
4. low-impedance earthing ?
5.primary earthing system and secondary earthing system what is that?
6.earthing electrode or mesh net earthing electrode ?

very confusing , simple but very informative help required ?

i will be very very thankful to you guys.

I think you should look up the regulations that apply to your home country if you want the answer to this. The IEE 'Wiring Regs" are a good reference for the UK.
 
This really is about 20 pages of info and background - can you ask one specific question and I am sure plenty of the members here would be eager to discuss, but this is is just too random.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
