EARTH SYSTEM
To meet electrical installations safety requirements, MICHAUD specialised in the earth system field.
The earth system enables to protect from the electrocution risk. It limits the potential difference in the close environment in order to avoid contact or step voltage.
The earth system also has to discharge direct or indirect currents coming from lightning shocks.
It prevents goods and electrical installations from degradation. The earth system ensures the electrical continuity and avoids too important voltage to installations terminals.

Galvanic Couples and Earth Systems: a real challenge
In electrical installations, earthing systems play a fundamental role in ensuring personal safety and equipment protection. However, a discreet phenomenon can significantly compromise their long-term reliability: the formation of galvanic couples. This electrochemical reaction,
How to Make a Grounding Connection?
Grounding connection provides protection in the event of faults on the line. These faults can occur at various times and damage electrical devices and equipment. They can create potential differences, which
Neutral earthing, what is it?
Neutral earthing is a system for protecting property and people that defines a path through which an electrical fault will flow. When a fault occurs on the electrical distribution network, it takes
