Answer / deepa
it is used to prevent from shocks at fault.ie,for example
over cuttent occurs in the s/m means large amt of current
flowing,it will go to the s/m failer and shock.earthing
means the exessive current flow through neutral.

Earthing is done for personel and equipment protection
purpose . Earthing provides the conducting path for fault
current through neutral to ground

Earthing is nothing but is used to remove unwanted/ harmful current/ Voltage by sending it to earth via. earth pit, either it come in the body of any instrument (washing machine, Freeze, AC or any lathe machines, electrical motors..) or in the shield of the signal cable via interference.
This is also known with different-2 names.
Like: Electronic earthing, panel earthing, system earthing, Instrument earthing, Shield earthing...... .
But the purpose is same....
This is not only to protect the Human and equipment but also for better communication in case of 4-20ma, 0-10V signals.... removed by using shielded cables with one end earthed.

How do I know if a transformer is saturated? I am doing the simulation of the saturation of a transformer, but what parameter tells me when a transformer is saturated? How do you calculate? is on the plate?, there is a rule that can help me? How could model? I understand the saturation occurs when the flow can no longer bind to the other winding, this is given to certain current, this current is the same that appears as the highest in the bale of features?
