Abstract
The basic objectives of a good electrical grounding system are for human safety, reliability of equipment operation, fault current return and to limit EMI/transient over voltages coupling. After satisfying all the above requirements, the effect of corrosion on the grounding installation must be considered for sustaining effectiveness of grounding. In this paper various types of corrosion and prevention mechanisms and its importance in grounding are described.
