Earthing & Grounding
TN-C, TN-S, TN-C-S and TT earthing system selection for residential and commercial panels, protective earth (PE) conductor sizing per IEC 60364, and equipotential bonding for lightning protection zones and KNX EMC compliance.
Earthing systems: TN-C, TN-S, TN-C-S and TT explained
IEC 60364-1 classification of earthing systems — TN-C, TN-S, TN-C-S and TT — with earth electrode types, earth fault loop impedance calculations for MCB trip verification, and practical split-point bonding at the main panel. Covers obsolete TN-C use in Eastern European installations and IT systems for medical locations.
PE conductor sizing and protective bonding in low-voltage panels
IEC 60364-5-54 PE conductor sizing table and the adiabatic equation for fault current verification. Earth bar design, supplementary bonding in bathrooms per IEC 60364-7-701, KNX panel PE connections and earth continuity testing per IEC 61557. PME warning for TN-C-S supplies.
Equipotential bonding for lightning zones and KNX EMC
EN 62305-3 lightning protection zone transitions, main bonding connections per IEC 60364-5-54, KNX bus screen grounding rules to prevent ground loops, DALI separation requirements, star earthing for audio matrix systems, and SPD bonding cable length limits for Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection.
