SOLUTION

• In electric circuits, the personal protective ground’s function is to provide low impedance path for short circuit current.
• Personal protective grounds (PPGs), also known as grounding or earthing leads, are used to create a low-resistance path to ground.
• This is crucial for safety in electrical work. If a live conductor is accidentally contacted, the short-circuit current will take the path of least resistance to ground.
• A properly installed PPG provides this low-resistance path, allowing a large current to flow quickly to ground, tripping protective devices like circuit breakers or fuses and minimizing the risk of electric shock to personnel.
•  A low impedance path ensures that the fault current can dissipate quickly and effectively, minimizing the risk of electric shock to personnel working on or near the equipment.
