	TT earthing system (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In electricity supply a TT earthing system is one where there is no metallic connection at all between the customer's earth and the neutral terminal of the transformer in the supplier's network.
		The main earth terminal of the customer's installation is connected to earth through an electrode (usually a copper rod or mesh) buried in the ground.
		Earth fault current must flow via this earth electrode through the soil to the earth electrode at the substation, which is in turn connected to the neutral terminal of the transformer.

	Earthing system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In electricity supply systems, an earthing system defines the electrical potential of the conductors relative to that of the Earth's conductive surface.
		In a TN earthing system, one of the points in the generator or transformer is connected with earth, usually the star point in a three-phase system.
		In TN-S and TT systems, the consumer has a low-noise connection to earth, which does not suffer from the voltage that appears on the N conductor as a result of the return currents and the impedance of that conductor.

	Introduction to Electric Shock Protection -- Elevator World July 2001
		The main difference between the two systems is in the value of the earth loop impedance (i.e., the impedance of the return path), which is higher on the TT system, compared to TN.
		As the earth loop impedance is low in the TN system, the value of the fault current is high enough to enable the disconnection of the overcurrent devices (e.g., a fuse or a circuit breaker), which makes 0.4-second disconnection time feasible.
		The main difference between the TN systems and the TT system is the higher value of the effective earth impedance as compared to the PEN conductor impedance.

		Where an electricity supplier provides an earth terminal at a premises, maintenance of the earthing and bonding system is confined to maintenance of the conductors and connections which form part of that system.
		A test of the earthing system impedance will not necessarily detect this corrosion and is not, on its own, sufficient to indicate that the earthing system is adequate.
		Obvious examples of earthing system deficiency, such as that due to theft of exposed copper earthing conductors, if not detected by the continuous monitoring, would be identified during one of these visits.

		The primary purpose of the earthing system is to cause a fuse to blow or a breaker or a residual-current device (RCD) to trip to automatically disconnect the power supply to any device or cable which develops a wiring fault.
		Where such a direct connection is not used (a TT system) the resistance of the fault path back to the supply is almost invariably far higher and as a result the fault current is generally too low to reliably blow fuses (or trip MCBs).
		In a TT earthing system it will mean that significant current will go down the earth rod and may lead to significant voltages between the case of the faulty appliance and other correctly wired appliances.

		TN-C system: in which neutral and protective conductors are combined in a single conductor (PEN) throughout the system.
		IT POWER SYSTEMS have all live parts isolated from earth or one point connected to earth through an impedance, the exposed-conductive-parts of the electrical installation being earthed independently or collectively or to the earthing of the system.
		The selection of an earthing system depends on local standards and regulations stipulating preference for earthing systems, availability of maintenance and competent service personal, and operational criteria (continuity of services, risk of fire hazard, special feature of loads etc).

	Earthing system - Mike Holt's Code Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Earthing system used in Sri Lanka is TT.
		TT relies on a residual current device or ground fault interrupter to switch off power in case of a fault.
		This means the trip current of the residual current device protecting the TT system may need to be set quite high to avoid nuisance trips.

	math lessons - TN-C-S
		In electricity supply a TN-C-S earthing system is one where where earth and neutral are combined in the supply wiring but are separate in the installation.
		Sometimes outdoor wiring from a TN-C-S will be made into a separate TT system, as a raised up earth poses a much greater danger outside the equipotential zone, but this is not always done.
		TT earth is rodded down in the consumer's installation and has no direct connection to the neutral of the supply transformer.

		T = Earth (from the French word Terre) N = Neutral S = Separate C = Combined I = Isolated (The source of a IT system is either connected to Earth through a deliberately introduced earthing impedance or is isolated from Earth.
		This is because TN-C requires an exemption from the Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations, and an IT system is not permitted for a low voltage public supply in the UK because the source is not directly earthed.
		A TN-S system, shown in figure 1, has the neutral of the source of energy connected with earth at one point only, at or as near as is reasonably practicable to the source, and the consumer’s earthing terminal is typically connected to the metallic sheath or armour of the distributor’s service cable into the premises.

		For the TN-S system (earth terminal provided by the Electricity Company), the TNC-S system (protective multiple earthing) and the TT system (no earth provided at the supply), all phase conductors MUST be switched, but NOT the protective (earth) conductor.
		The neutral will need to he disconnected for periodic testing, and provision must be made for this; it is important that the means of disconnection is accessible and can only be completed with the use of a tool.
		The protective conductor should never be switched, except when the supply can he taken from either of two sources with earth Systems which must slot be connected together.

		Thus it is the method employed by most (usually rural) installations fed by an overhead supply.
		Neutral and earth (protective) conductors must be kept quite separate throughout the installation, with the final earth terminal connected to an earth electrode (see {5.5}) by means of an earthing conductor.
		Because of this, socket outlet circuits must be protected by a residual current device (RCD) with an operating current of 30 mA {5.9}.

	TT earthing system - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		A TT earthing system is one where there is no connection at all between the customers earth and the neutral terminal of the transformer in the suppliers network.
		In most cases the high earth loop impedence means that a RCCB must be used on the whole install.
		Bonding of pipework to the earthing system is important because of the rasie in earth potential during a fault but because of the low currents involved this bonding doesn't need to be very big (6mm^2 in the UK).

		As far as earthing types are concerned, letter classifications are used.
		T - indicates that one or more points of the Supply are directly earthed (for example, the earthed neutral at the transformer).
		I - indicates either that the supply system is not earthed at all, or that the earthing includes a deliberately-inserted impedance, the purpose of which is to limit fault current.

		To ensure your earthing is adequate it is necessary to measure the earth loop impedance.
		This is the resistance between the earthing system you have and the transformer earth at the origin of you supply.
		This is not advisable, ensuring your earth is sound and anything at a risk of having a voltage on it is earth will cause the RCCD to trip before you do.

		Cable sheath earthing and separate continuous earth wire arrangements are referred to as TN-S within BS7671 and are often available within older properties, or occasionally where PME facilities are unavailable.
		In older properties direct earthing is often provided by bonding the protective conductors to an incoming metal water pipe, owned and operated by the local water company.
		Whilst a metal water pipe can act as a reasonable earthing system, it is likely that this will, at some stage in the future, be replaced by plastic piping.

		There should be built into the system a form of disciplinary procedure to ensure that standards are maintained and appropriate penalties (including expulsion) apply to persons who breach these stipulated standards.
		By their nature wiring rules and regulations change and the regulatory body must have in place a system for training its members to ensure that they are kept up-to-date with testing procedures and changes in the wiring rules.
		Existing TN systems should not be converted to TT without the approval of the ESB.

		Following an historical review of the origins of Earthing Systems, this "Cahier Technique" goes on to provide information on the practices in some countries concerning medium voltage, HV/LV substations, in particular in LV public, industrial and tertiary distribution.
		Electrical installations are evolving, electronics are everywhere, thus leading us to look afresh at earthing systems used in LV and indeed even to predict an evolution which should bring the TN-S and TT systems closer together.
		We advise those not very familar with earthing systems standardised by IEC 364 to first read "Cahier Technique" No 172.

		The DEHNventil® TT makes use of pre-triggering technology which is a combination Class 1 and Class 2 arrester in 1 x packaging.
		A further advantage of this combination is that it halves the clamping voltage Phase to Neutral when compared to the standard method of installing surge arresters from each Phase and Neutral to Earth and it can be used on all types of wiring applications, TNS, TN?C?S and TT earthing systems.
		When surge arresters are installed in systems with a main breaker larger than 250 Amps, they should be pre-fused to prevent the units creating a danger when subjected to high fault currents.
