   System earthing serves a purpose of electrical safety throughout the system that is not caused by a short circuit or other electrical fault.It prevents static buildup and helps protect (as part of a surge protection system) against power surges caused by nearby lightning strikes or switching.

8. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

   The large area is required to dissipate the high current of a lightning strike without damaging the system conductors by excess heat. Since lightning strikes are pulses of energy with very high frequency components, grounding systems for lightning protection tend to use short straight runs of conductors to reduce the self-inductance and skin ...
