In a TT (terra–terra) earthing system, just as with a TN system, there is a direct connection to Earth at the supply transformer. But, unlike TN, the exposed-conductive-parts at the consumer installation are independent from it, instead having an entirely separate connection to Earth via a local earth electrode (sometimes referred to as the ...

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.
A grounding transformer or earthing transformer is a type of auxiliary transformer used in three-phase electric power systems to provide a ground path to either an ungrounded wye or a delta-connected system. [1] [2] Grounding transformers are part of an earthing system of the network.

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 ...
Lightning and Earthing protection systems are essential for the protection of humans, structures, protecting buildings from mechanical destruction caused by lightning effects and the associated risk of fire, Transmission lines, and electrical equipment from electric shock and Overcurrent.
In TT systems the installation's earth electrode needs to have low enough impedance to operate protection if a safe voltage (usually taken as 50 V) between the installation and remote earthing is exceeded; in TN systems the system's neutral point needs a low resistance connection to Earth to prevent a fault between a line conductor and some ...
