Explanation:
Si je vois bien ce dont il s'agit

"Les parties conductrices qui ne sont pas normalement sous tension doivent être mises à la terre afin de réduire, pour les personnes, le risque d'être soumises à des tensions de contact et de pas, et pour les choses, le risque dû à des courants de défaut ou de court-circuit à la terre"
