BS 7430 Code of Practice Test for Protective Earthing of Electrical Installations

Earthing of a system or installation is usually provided for safety reasons. This British standard only applies to onshore installations in and around buildings.

Does not apply to:

  • Ships, aircraft or offshore installations;
  • grounding of medical equipment;
  • Special problems encountered in solid state electronic components;
  • Equipment sensitive to static electricity;
  • Requirements for functional grounding;
  • Grounding of overhead lines between electrical installations; or
  • Internal grounding of equipment.

Most installations are part of a TN system or a TT system, and in both types of installation all exposed conductive parts of an installation's electrical equipment must be connected to the main earth terminal via circuit protective conductors. The earth fault loop impedance must be low enough for the protective device (fuse, circuit breaker, RCD) to operate for the required time in the event of an earth fault.
