The definition of grounded is someone or something stable, sincere, practical or firmly established, or an aircraft or pilot that is being kept from flying. 1  An example of grounded is someone who reacts calmly in a crisis. 2  An example of grounded is a shoe repair shop in business for twenty five years.
In a grounded system, a ground fault (connection of a hot circuit conductor to ground) will trip a circuit breaker. There is also something called impedance grounding, which is connecting a neutral or other conductor to ground through a high impedance. This is sort of a compromise between the two.
