How does the Grounded Connection system PROTECT you?


HOW YOUR ELECTRIC INSTALLATION WORKS


The Electric Current comes by one of the conductors, passing through the ELECTRIC SWITCHBOARD to the POWER OUTLETS and from there to the ELECTRIC APPARATUS being used.

SITUATION: NORMAL



After feeding the ELECTRIC APPARATUS, the current returns to the source of supply by the other conductor. The GROUNDED CIRCUIT ensures that there is no electric charge in the ELECTRIC APPARATUS and its correct functioning.



SITUATION: GROUNDED FAULT (SAFETY)


When there is a FAULT in the Electric Appliance, the current returns to the source of supply by the GROUNDED CIRCUIT.
The GROUNDED CIRCUIT works by channeling the current from the fault to the ground, thus providing maximum safety. .



SITUATION: NOT GROUNDED FAULT (DANGER)


When the FAULT is not GROUNDED, the current returns to the source of supply passing through the person. Without GROUNDING any fault can lead to danger of ELECTROCUTION of a person who is in contact with the ELECTRIC APPARATUS.

GROUNDING PROTECTS YOU!
