Portable Earthing Device (PED)

A portable earthing device in the power industry is a safety tool used to temporarily connect electrical equipment or conductors to the ground (earth) during maintenance or repair work. This ensures that any residual electrical energy is safely discharged, protecting workers from electric shock and preventing equipment damage.

These devices are designed to withstand high fault currents and are typically used in situations where permanent earthing systems are not available or practical. They are essential for ensuring safety in electrical installations and maintenance operations.
