Thorne & Derrick are Official Media Sponsors & Exhibitors at Earthing Conference UK

INTRODUCTION TO EARTHING

The aim of this Earthing Conference UK is to demystify the subject of earthing and present the subject in a clear, straightforward manner.

Earthing as a subject has been under-represented over the years and this event will attempt to remedy the gaps in technical knowledge and improve practices in the industry.

The UK & Europe need a unified practical approach to earthing which can be commonly understood and widely applied.

Few topics generate as much controversy and debate as that of earthing and the associated topics of bonding, grounding, surge protection, shielding, earth and lightning protection of electrical and electronic systems. Poor earthing practices can be the cause of continual and intermittent difficult-to-diagnose problems in a facility.

This conference will explore these issues from a fresh yet practical perspective to help delegates reduce expensive downtime in their plant and/or equipment by identifying the correct application of these principles.
