Hello, friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will discuss the Difference Between Grounding and Earthing. The basic difference between grounding and earthing is that in grounding the conductor through which current is flowing is connected with the ground while in earthing the conductor through which current is not flowing is attached with the ground.

In this post, we will have a detailed look at earthing and grounding than relate them to find their differences. So let’s get started with a Difference Between Grounding and Earthing.

Difference Between Grounding and Earthing

Earthing

Earthing is a process that used to link the part of the device called the dead portion that has zero value of current with the earth.
The frame of your fridge is dead part and connect it of earth

Earthing helps to make a reduction in the getting shock if there is current flowing in the device due to fault.
If earthing is done then current will flow to that part that has less resistance.
For earthing, there is green-colored wire is used
The main purpose of earthing is to save a person from getting shocked by the damaged device that has current in its body
If someone gets a touch to the body can get shocked if decide is not properly earthed
In case of lighting bouls earthing also saves homes and other apartments
It rescues the fire probability in the different system

Grounding

In this process, the active portion of the device means through which the current is passing is linked to the earth.

Its main purpose is to save the device from getting damaged its example is neutral of transformer linked to the ground
The main purpose of transform neutral linked to the ground is that if lighting bouts are fallen on it then its grounding will give less resistance path to move to the current to ground
For grounding there is black color wire is used

That is a detailed post about the difference between earthing and grounding if you have any query ask in the comments. Thanks for reading have a good day,
