A faulty wire brings fire.........

Earthing can simply be defined as the process of protecting against unwarranted spikes and bouts of electricity that can cause damage to life and property. Therefore it is important to remember these key differences between the two. One needs to understand that they both are referring to the same process. A deeper understanding of electric potential can prove useful in this method.

Grounding is similar to Earthing, by which insulation against accidental currents is achieved. The main live wire is connected to a power supply to power an appliance, however, the other portion of the wire is led under the earth. This is done in case of an accidental cut in the circuit, to avoid overloading and other dangerous side effects.

 One of the most important reasons for grounding electrical currents is that it protects your appliances, your home and everyone in it from surges in electricity. … If your electrical system is grounded, all of that excess electricity will go into the earth — rather than frying everything connected to your system. 

 The process of transferring the immediate discharge of the electrical energy directly to the earth by the help of the low resistance wire is known as the electrical earthing. The earthing provides the simple path to the leakage current. .. 

 Earthing Charcoal & Salt are used in Conventional Pipe & Plate Earthing. The layer of charcoal and salt helps to maintain low resistance for earth fault currents. Because of ionic behavior of salt and charcoal they will maintain moisture. 

 Electric earthing may be either pipe or plate earthing. Normally GI pipe (2.5 inch diameter) or plate (500 mm X 500 mm X 10 mm) is used but if the soil is corrosive then copper pipe or plate should be used. Use Double GI Strip size 30 mm X 10 mm to connect GI Plate to System Earthing. 

 There are several methods of earthing like wire or strip earthing, rod earthing, pipe earthing, plate earthing,earthing through water mains. Most commonly used methods of earthing are pipe earthing and plate earthing. 

 Highlights of Maintenance Free Earthing. ➢ Enhances earth conductivity & reduces earth resistance. ➢ Ecological & prevents corrosion of earth. electrodes (since no salt is used) 

 Marconite is the world’s premium electrically conductive aggregate material – the synthetic material is manufactured specifically for use in earthing applications and unlike Bentonite, it is not a naturally occurring mineral or ore. 

 Advance chemical earthings are either made of Pure Copper Pipes,Copper Bonded Pipes ,G.i pipes and Pure  Rod types filled with CCM Compounds used with premium electrically conductive aggregate materials. 

 Charcoal and Salt used, results in corroding the metal whereas in chemical earthing highly conductive Back fill compound is used. Regular maintenance by watering of pit is must to enhance conductivity whereas in chemical earthing no water curing is required. Works on fit & forget system.
