Earthing

Electrical Europe United Kingdom

Grounding, ground hookup, protective earth, PE conductor, generator grounding

Earthing is the protective electrical connection that helps disconnect supply safely if a fault energises the metal body or appliance casing.

On campsite hook-up, protective earth arrives through the CEE/EHU connection. With generators and inverters, earthing depends on neutral bonding, RCD design and the device manual.
