Let us just understand what is Electrical earthing (Grounding) and if it is really needed.

Electricity only appears when there is a potential difference between two points. For example, if we take two wires, one with a potential of 12 V, and another with a potential of 0 V, then we'll have a potential difference of 12 V. If both wires have 12 V, there will be no potential difference between them, and electric force will be zero..

Therefore, the mains electrical systems are made up of two wires, one called phase and another called neutral. The neutral wire shows a potential of zero and the phase wire is where the electric energy is transmitted. As there is a potential difference between phase and neutral, there is electric force. In mains distribution network the voltage is alternated, as the electric force of the phase wire varies along the time making a sine wave. ... (please refer to original article in the link)

connecting the ground wire to water pipes or any metallic pipes for that matter is not advisable..neither it is advisable to connect it to the steel used in construction..

the leakage current is small..but is it large enough to produce a potential difference between different parts of the metal it is connected to (pipes, steel) ... thereby exposing that material to corrosion.
long term effect is that the pipes n steel will get corroded thereby reducing the strength and life.... further effects of this are water leakage and pest..due to the cracks it produces.

please use a proper grounding method...
the method you have mentioned is also used by many paid professional electricians but they are not to care about the life of the structure (your house).

take permission of the housing society and install a grounding mechanism in the neearby free ground. its a one time process which will help in a long run.
 
I know that water pipe grounding is not a good Grounding technique.

But it is help full as an alternative for those who live is rental or small apparments not having proper earthing and even for those who dont want to spend money or dont have land for proper earthing.
 
Wow, finally I have understood why that b***h of the DVD player was shocking me every time I touch it. I knew it was earthing, but I never understood what it was till now. Thanks mate. But your advice on self-grounding may provide for some shocking [pun intended] experiences.

sick:@ copy paste work.

if you had to post such article, you should have mentioned the source and given a credit to its original creator. rather than ripping off the article in your name.
 
The pipes and steel rod methods will definitely help the gys living in hostel, rented apartments and as PGs. Cause we are never allowed to do anything in our rooms except keep the room clean.

BTW OP, you went too far with this apology thing

Now just relax and go to sleep with sweet dreams. Don't wake up thinking TE mods must be hating you.
Watch some hilarious movie b4 getting to bed.
Little booze might help too.
Popular Sanguine... ;)

Better..Invent something incredible ...you are good at that. Whole TE can vouch for that. :)

just kidding bro. Dil Pe Mat Lena
