    Grounding is an invisible safety measure against electrocution, which is legally mandatory in Belgium according to the General Regulation on Electrical Installations (AREI). Grounding plays a crucial role in conducting electrical current away and is vital for the safety of both electrical installations and devices. It ensures the safe dissipation of electricity in case of a malfunction or short circuit, significantly reducing the risk of fire and electrocution. Additionally, installing a grounding loop is a compulsory measure for both new constructions and renovation projects.
      A grounding loop is a cable that is laid around your residence and has the function of diverting electrical current from your dwelling to the ground. When constructing a new home, it is the responsibility of the contractor or electrician in charge of the construction to implement grounding.
        When determining the length of the grounding loop, the circumference of your residence is measured, and a margin is added to allow the grounding loop to reach the electrical meter. The grounding loop must be able to cover this distance.
          To carry out grounding, a grounding loop with a conductor of at least 35 mm² thickness is required. A grounding loop with a tinned copper conductor and a layer of lead is considered the ideal choice.
            The installation of the grounding loop generally takes place in the construction trench or in the foundation grooves. It is crucial to ensure that the grounding loop is placed at least 60 centimeters below ground level to ensure safety. When installing the new grounding around your building, it is essential that it does not come into contact with concrete or other construction materials, as this could damage the grounding loop.
              Thus, grounding is placed under your exterior walls. It is recommended to cover the grounding loop with soil and ensure that both ends of the loop remain accessible at all times.
                The connection of the grounding loop is made at the bottom of the grounding breaker.
                  Ensuring proper grounding and adhering to the applicable standards and regulations for your electrical installation is of paramount importance. You can have this verified by a licensed electrician, who can conduct an inspection and address any potential issues. During this inspection, it is checked, among other things, whether the grounding loop is correctly connected and still complies with safety standards.
