Earthing Electrodes

The Safe Earthing Electrode offered by us is the Asia's first such electrode developed after a consistent R&D sessions since 1985. Manufactured in the year 1999, S.E.E is an innovative and cost effective solution for safest grounding system. These electrodes are designed to reduce the soil resistivity thereby improving the resistance of grounding systems. By reducing the soil resistivity, these microprocessor based control systems facilitate the transfer of fault current to the earth thereby instantly dissipating maximum fault current.

 

Salient Features:

• Provides stable reference
• Protects personnel and sensitive equipment
• Dissipates lightning strikes
• Discharges short circuit currents
• Prevents damage from power and switching surges

3 M Electrode – Normal Soil

• Augur a hole of 10” Diameter and 10’ in depth.
• Put BFC at the bottom of the pit (App 5 Kgs)
• Place the electrode in the middle of the pit.
• Filter the mother soil (taken out during auguring) - mix the BFC with the soil.
• Start putting the mixture around the electrode with adequate supply of water in the pit.
• With a long stick, start poking the sides of the pits to help in mixing the compound well and to remove the air bubbles.
• Fill the pit completely with the compound mixture and pour abundant water in and around the pit.
• Leave the pit to rest for a day.
• Construct a chamber and provide connection to the equipment. 

Back Fill Compound (BFC) : After erecting the pipe in the earth pit the BFC is mixed with water and filled around the pipe.

•  Not soluble & part of the earth pit.
•  Hydroscopic in nature.
•  Enhances performance of electrode – Electrolytic Gel solution.
•  Maintains moisture and enhances conductivity around the electrode.
•  Does not leach in to the normal soil.
•  Reduces soil resistivity around the electrode.

The process of filling & coating is QUALITY governed.

High specific gravity CCM is injected inside the earth electrode through a specially designed SPM under controlled pressure, giving a greater bonding strength between CCM particles

Uniform & smooth coating of the copper

Matty finish and aesthetic look

Purity of the electrolytic grade copper used for coating is 99.99%

Coating thickness 80 – 100 microns, but can be increased on demand

Better anti – corrosion protection than zinc coating

Excellent soil interface due to electrode’s matty finish

Coating is done under stringent quality control through a specially designed SPM and is near to copper cladding

Coating on the electrode is measured on each & every electrode.

The process of coating is quality governed.

High current dissipation capacity due to increased surface area.

Coating is done on the mild steel pipes, and has much better mechanical strength (almost twice) than the pure copper electrode for the same cross section area.

Steel can absorb approx. 1.36 times as much heat as an equivalent volume of copper, and can withstand higher temperature before melting (1510 °C compared to 1083 °C for copper)

 Suitable for corrosive atmosphere.
