What is the difference between grounding & earthing?

Answer Posted / nithi

grounding & earthing are different.

GROUNDING:If the live point (current carrying part)of the
system is earthed ,it is called as grounding.

EX: In star connected system,the neutral point is
grounded.

EARTHING:If the non-live point(other than current carrying
part )of the system is earthed,it is called as earthing.

EX:Earthing of outer frame of the electrical machine.

A 15 kw squirrel cage motor having a maximum efficiency of 90% on a continuous full load has temperature rise of 42 degrees celcius after 30 min and 52 degrees celcius after 1 hr under the above operation conditions. a) calculate its final steady state temperature rise on continuous load and the heating time constatnt. b) if the motor is operated on a short load for 9 min estimate its temperature rise. c) calculate the maximum overload that can be applied on a short, 9 min rating so that the temperature rise is the same as the final steady state temperature rise on continuous load.
