RE: Importance of Earthing
HI

In electricity supply systems an earthing (grounding) system defines the electrical
potential of the conductors relative to that of the Earth's conductive surface. The choice of earthing system has implications for the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the power supply. Note that regulations for earthing systems vary considerably between different countries.

A functional earth connection serves a purpose other than providing protection against electrical shock. In contrast to a protective earth connection a functional earth connection may carry a current during the normal operation of a device. Functional earth connections may be required by devices such as surge suppression and electromagnetic-compatibility filters some types of antennas and various measurement instruments. Generally the protective earth is also used as a functional earth though this requires care in some situations.
