We provide connectivity/ routing up to the end point with our added expertise. Its workmanship is our core strength.

EARTHING Means

Earthing means any connection given to the earth mass by means of a conductor connected to the earth electrode buried in soil.

GOOD EARTHING Means

There are various formal definitions of a good Earthing, e.g., how many amps of current it can drain at a particular voltage, or resistance per surface meter.

Good Earthing must have impedance low enough to ensure that sufficient current       can flow through the safety device so that       it disconnects  the supply ( <0.4 sec ) and that voltage of earth doesn't rise more than 50V.   

In simple theory this will prevent a potential difference between earth and earthed parts, as well as permitting the flow of fault current which will cause the operation of the protective systems.

QUALITIES OF GOOD EARTHING

The quality of Earthing you need depends upon your application

The qualities of a good earthing system are :

  1. Must be of low electrical resistance
  2. Must be of good corrosion resistance
  3. Must be able to dissipate high fault current repeatedly 

The quality of Earthing you need depends upon your application.

NEED OF GOOD EARTHING

  1. To save human life from danger of electrical shock or death by blowing a fuse i.e. To provide an alternative path for the fault current to flow so that it will not endanger the user
  2. To protect buildings, machinery & appliances under fault conditions   ie. To ensure that all exposed conductive parts do not reach a dangerous potential.
  3. To provide safe path to dissipate lightning and short circuit currents.
  4. To provide stable platform for operation of sensitive  electronic equipments   i.e. To maintain the voltage at any part of an electrical system at a known value so as to prevent over current or excessive voltage on the appliances or equipment . 
  5. To provide protection against static electricity from  friction      

How EARTHING works?

The basic idea of a safety from electrical disaster the same everywhere. The case (chassis) of the equipment (and except for special situations, the internal electronics) is connected to an earth pin on the mains outlet. This is then connected through the house wiring and switchboard to an electrically solid earth point, which is called EARTHING or GROUNDING.
Should a fault develop within the equipment that causes the active (live) conductor to come into contact with the chassis, the fault current will flow to earth, and the equipment or main switchboard fuse or circuit breaker will blow. This protects the user from electric shock, bypassing the dangerous current directly to earth, rather than through the body of the unsuspecting poor bastard who just touched it.
Earth leakage circuit breakers (RCD - residual current detectors) measure the current in the active and neutral conductors. If these differ by more than a few milliamps, the circuit is disconnected. The principle is simple - if the current in the two wires differs, some of it must be going somewhere that is undesirable, so the supply is interrupted almost instantly. While these are mandatory in some countries (or under some circumstances), it is best not to rely on any advanced technique, but provide a system that is intrinsically safe.

TYPES OF EARTHING

There are various ways of doing EARTHING

  1. Conventional EARTHING
    • Pipe Earthing,
    • GI Plat Earthing,
    • Cast Iron plat Earthing,
    • Copper plat Earthing
  2. Maintenance Free EARTHING

CONVENTIONAL EARTHING

The Conventional system of Earthing calls for digging of a large pit into which a GI pipe or a copper plate is positioned amidst layers of charcoal and salt. It is cumbersome to install only one or two pits in a day.

The Conventional system of GI pipe Earthing or copper plate Earthing requires maintenance and pouring of water at regular interval.     

MAINTENANCE FREE EARTHING

It is a new type of earthing system which is readymade, standardized, scientifically developed. Its Benefits are

  1. Maintenance Free: No need to pour water at regular interval- except in sandy soil.
  2. Consistency: Maintain stable and consistent earth resistance around the year.
  3. More Surface Area: The conductive compound creates a conductive zone, which provides the increased surface area for peak current dissipation. And also get stable reference point.
  4. Low earth resistance. Highly conductive. Carries high peak current repeatedly.
  5. No corrosion. Eco Friendly.
  6. Long Life.
  7. Easy Installation.
  8. As per IS: 3043- 1987.

TECHNICAL DETAILS OF MAINTENANCE FREE EARTHING MAINTENANCE FREE EATHING consists of two parts:

Earthing Electrode:-

Two ‘B’ class mild steel pipes, one inside the other, are subjected to Hot dip Galvanization : 80-100 micron on the secondary electrode and 250 – 300 micron on the primary electrode. Empty space inside the primary electrode and the secondary electrode is filled with CRYSTALLINE CONDUCTIVE MIXTURE and then sealed.

  1. Empty space inside the primary and the secondary electrode is filled with Conductor rich crystalline mixture which contains metal alloys and natural compounds
  2. Contains metal alloys and natural compounds   
  3. High conductive, Anticorrosive
  4. Does not disintegrate or collapse when
  5. Outer electrode becomes inactive 

Back Fill Compound:-

  1. Empty space around the electrode is filled with a compound which Contains eco-friendly materials.
  2. Maintains moisture and enhances conductivity around the electrode.
  3. Does not mix with or leach in to the soil.
  4. Absorbs moisture 13 times its dry volume.
  5. No need to recharge pit. Except in sandy areas.
  6. Improves electrode performance and protects the system in corrosive environment.       

INSTALLATION OF MAINTENANCE FREE EARTHING SYSTEM

earth installHands augur a 10 inch or 8 inch dia pit 2 m or 3 m deep to install electrode of required length. Fill the space between soil and electrode with specially developed BACKFILL COMPOUND mixed with dug out soil in small quantities along with water. Continue till pit is filled up to the neck of electrode as shown in the diagram. After installation pour a few buckets of water in and around electrode for few days for the entire system to set. About 4 electrodes can be installed in a day in normal soil conditions.

When installing electrodes, there are three conditions that must be satisfied: -
The work must be carried out efficiently to minimise installation costs,
The backfill used must not have a pH value which will cause corrosion to the electrode; and Any joints or

Measuring the connectors used below ground level must be so constructed that corrosion of the joint/connector will not take place.
