Hi, i just wanted to know if my central heating radiator would be grounded, are they always grounded/earthed?
-
can also be a wire connected to a tap or anything else metal that goes into the ground, tho they dont recommend you use a gas pipe as a sorse of ground
-
... Grounding is what happens when the suppior authority deside to take your shit away because your to smart, obviously your not one of these people !
-
(this is the second post see the fist one first) So what earthing does is to reduce the voltages but will maintain the difference in voltage. this will reduce the voltage flowing in ur devices so ur devices would not damage or will work with full capacity (eg. in pc it may corrupt memory). also it will reduce the magnetic fields made by the current.
-
its really simple. as some one all ready comment one of the reasons is to stop people from being shocked. Also if u know that voltage is the potential difference then in a circuit the voltages could be really high but the difference between voltages is small. See next comment ( it continues)
-
@freemind4ever earthing does not protect someone from electrical shock... stick a hot wire in the dirt and the breaker will not trip
-
That must be a 100% kick ass home!!
-
Actually earthing /grounding is there for functional earthing ( so computers + i.t stuff can work) or to protect persons from shock/ fire protection and livestock, yeah live stock is a weird one, lol look at the 17th edition wiring regs (uk) bs 7671 2008,

Holy Shit, give the guy a break, he's trying to do a service for your free-asses! Even if the info isn't "helpful" to you, I'm sure someone will appreciate it. Instead of insulting the poor guy why don't you do something useful with your time - like record YOUR own free-info service clip.

To answer the question, WHAT IS IT? Grounding is the process in which elecricity is given and alternate route to travel to ground in case there is a short in the circuit. if tere was a short in say your common household outlet, you would be electricuted if you touched any metal piece in contact with the short because you would become the quickest way for the electricity to reach ground. If there is a grounding wire you would not complete the circuit and in theory would not get electricuted.
