Danger of being near the ground loop
Hello! Please explain: is it dangerous to be on the ground near a clogged grounding pin (s) if there is a leak and grounding proper? Here the situation is the same as when a phase wire falls to the ground (a step voltage occurs) or at 220 V the step voltage that appears is small and not dangerous? Is it possible to place the ground loop in a small (2x4m) basement of a private house and be safe in this basement? Where is it best to place a ground loop on the site if being near it is dangerous?
Hello! You worry too much about what is unlikely to arise. In the event of a leak, first of all, an RCD should work, which you, of course, put, and secondly, if you do not connect a lightning protection wire to this ground electrode, then the step voltage there if it occurs is not as deadly as you imagined. In general, they make an earthing switch outside the house. Those. outside. Just lightning protection can be organized. But the ground electrode of the latter, according to the standards, is not closer than 1 m to the outer part of the wall of the house.
