It is hard to imagine a house without electricity. We are used to light when it is dark outside. We are surrounded by electrical appliances that make our lives easier. All this for modern man represents things of prime necessity. But have you thought about what is a grounding?



Electricity requires special treatment. Today's edition. "Site" I thought I'd tell you a little more about it. What is the feature of grounding in a private and apartment building. And why is it shaped like a triangle?

Grounding is a deliberate protection against the dangerous effects of electric current. Its use is necessary when installing any power grid to normalize the supply of voltage to the devices. Grounding acts as a guarantee of safe use of electric current by a person.



Grounding in an apartment building is laid even during the construction of such a house. Intervention of residents of the house is not required. This issue is dealt with by the electric distribution company according to established norms and rules. After all, our apartment buildings are a whole intricate network in which only a professional of a particular service can understand.



As for the grounding in the construction of a private house, this question depends entirely on the owner of the house. Therefore, for the safety of your home and your own life, this issue must be approached very carefully. If your knowledge in this area is not enough, you can contact the appropriate service. She'll do everything by technology and rules. In any case, even if you deal with this issue yourself, the power company issues the permit for operation.

There are several ways to land in a private home. Today we decided to talk about grounding in the shape of a triangle. Why this particular shape? How do you do that? Read on in our article.



The rules for the device of electrical installations (PUE) describe the method of grounding in the form of a triangle. Why this form is not specified, but the method of installation is described in detail. Electricians most often use this design in the grounding of the house. This method is the most reliable and durable. All you need to do is dig a trench near the house in the form of a triangle and a depth of about 1.2 meters. In this trench is installed the design of a triangle on pins 2.5 meters long. This whole structure is driven into the ground and buried with a layer of earth. The trench should not be far from home. It is usually located at a distance of 1 meter from the foundation.



The very idea of such a design appeared in the distant times, when the choice of components was not very large. And as parts of the triangle used metal of low quality, most often it was ordinary steel. Due to the impact of earth and moisture on it, steel began to rust over time, which led to a violation of the integrity of the structure. Therefore, in order to ensure safety, such a design was invented. And even if one side of the triangle was damaged and no longer performed its functions, the remaining two coped with the task.



Today, a wide range of high-quality materials are presented on the market of electrical products. In the store you can even find ready-made special sets for grounding the house. The service life of such materials is up to 100 years. You can no longer worry about the safety of your home.
