The TT (French: terre–terre) earthing system. In a TT (Latin: terra–terra) earthing system, the protective earth connection for the consumer is provided by a local earth electrode, (sometimes referred to as the terra firma connection) and there is another independently installed at the generator. There is no 'earth wire' between the two.
An isolated ground (IG) (or Functional Earth (FE) in European literature) is a ground connection to a local earth electrode from equipment where the main supply uses a different earthing arrangement, one of the common earthing arrangements used with domestic mains supplies.

The choice of earthing system has implications for the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the power supply. Regulations for earthing systems vary considerably between different countries. A functional earth connection serves more than protecting against electrical shock, as such a connection may carry current during the normal ...

While the TN-S and TT diagrams are fine, the TN-C and TN-C-S diagrams are problematic. The TN-C diagram is supposed to depict a combined PE+N conductor for both the supply and installation wiring (no separation at all), but PE and N are shown as separate conductors in part of the diagram. With the TN-C-S diagram, there's no PEN label.
