Why is grounding important?

• Grounding is an essential element for any electrical installation as it protects appliances and stabilises voltage levels. Earthing is also important is it provides a safe path for electrical currents to travel to earth in the event of over voltage or lightning strike, ultimately preventing injury through electric shock or death.
