Ground or earth provides a common return path for electric current in an electric circuit. It is created by connecting the neutral point of an installation to the general mass of the earth or a chassis. Grounding is needed for electric safety and it also creates a reference point in a circuit to which voltages are measured.

In Figure 1, it is defined that the tap-to-system side is defined as the M 1 side, the tap to the neutral point of the high-voltage side of the transformer side is defined as the M 2 side, and the transformer low-voltage
If a hot or neutral inside the motor touches the casing, the casing will be energized, resulting in a "fault current" through the ground wire. The ground wire (green) safely moves that fault current
This paper discusses the many different system grounding practices and information on different grounding methods, as well as safety, National Electrical CodeT requirements, and operational
Assessment of system grounding, as defined in IEEE C62.92.1, must properly consider this behavior if inverter coupled DER are the dominant power sources once a portion of distribution system becomes isolated. This report provides
In an isolated network, the neutral points of all existing generators, transformers and neutral point formers are not earthed (Figure 1 and 2). Even if a generator should be connected to earth via a neutral transformer,
The neutral point allows for the system to have a reference point, making it easier to measure voltage and current. There are two types of transformer neutral: solidly grounded and

System grounding is the connection to the ground – solidly or through impedance – of current-carrying conductors – e.g., the neutral point of a wye-connected transformer and the phase on a corner-grounded delta
The process of connecting neutral point of 3-phase system to earth (i.e. soil) either directly or through some circuit element (e.g. resistance, reactance etc.) is called Neutral Grounding.
Quite often, these systems are connected to ground through an impedance. Solidly grounded systems (no intentional resistance or impedance to ground) — unlike lower voltage systems — can be either single-point ground
You must bond the SDS to exposed structural metal (interconnected to form the building frame), unless the structural frame serves as the grounding electrode [250.52(A)(2)] for the SDS. In all three of the above
T HE single line-to-ground (SLG) fault is one of the most common faults in distribution networks. The arc generated by the SLG fault would harm apparatus operation and
The neutral grounding method is one of the most important elements to consider when utilities plan and operate their distribution system. The specific neutral grounding method chosen by the utility can have significant impacts on reliability of service, safety, protection coordination, power quality, equipment ratings among many others.
A grounding system is isolated from other grounding systems by delta windings in three-phase systems. It only takes one delta winding to accomplish isolation; not both primary and secondary windings. There are four separate grounding systems illustrated in
Section 250.4 (A) Grounded systems. System grounding is the connection to the ground – solidly or through impedance – of current-carrying conductors – e.g., the neutral point of a wye-connected transformer and the phase on a corner-grounded delta connection. The purposes are to:
High-impedance grounded neutral systems in which a grounding impedance, usually a resistor, limits the ground fault current to a low value. High-impedance grounded neutral systems shall be permitted for three-phase, ac systems of 480 V to 1000 V where all of the following conditions are met:
Grounding protects your facility from over-voltages. Grounding or earthing limits the over-voltages from lightning, surges, and faults by diverting them to the earth through grounding rods. While there is usually only one grounding rod (into the earth) outside the building, there could be several grounding electrodes in the system.
Systems over 50V are a different story. The following systems must be grounded (connected to the earth) if the neutral conductor is used as a circuit conductor: (1) Single-phase systems. (2) Three-phase, wye-connected systems. (3) Three-phase, high-leg delta-connected systems.
