An earthing system connects specific parts of an electric power system with the ground, typically the Earth's conductive surface, for safety and functional purposes.

International standard IEC 60364 distinguishes three families of earthing arrangements, using the two-letter codes TN, TT, and IT.

The first letter indicates the connection between earth and the power-supply equipment (generator or transformer):

"T" — Direct connection of a point with earth (French: terre)
"I" — No point is connected with earth (French: isolé), except perhaps via a high impedance.
The second letter indicates the connection between earth or network and the electrical device being supplied:
"T" — Earth connection is by a local direct connection to earth (French: terre), usually via a ground rod.
"N" — the earth connection is supplied by the electricity supply network, either separately to the neutral conductor (TN-S), combined with the neutral conductor (TN-C), or both (TN-C-S). These are discussed below.
