Earthing mins it is connected to dead parts like enclosure, machine body, base frame, etc. it does not carries current in under normal condition. used as a current path for fault condition, so it become safety for eqnt and human being.
Grounding is connected to live part. it gives return path for machine to power source. it carries current in normal condition. for example grounded star connected power transformer and star connected motor neutral.

while doing high potential for 11KV 3 core cable how much leakage current will obtain?, what will be acceptance value?
length of 4 core cable 95mm from substation LV VFD panel to Motor at field approximately 150 meter. Motor stop and power has been isolated from LV MCC ( Substation )to disconnect Motor for services. After Motor completed service propose to reinstall and reconnect Motor Cable, found earth cable sparkling during touching at metal / motor body. Inspect by clamp meter found earth cable have current flow AC 1-2amps and all earth cable at MCC LV also have current flow as same value. why it is happen?
