Copper-clad steel pipes are most preferred for earthing

Earthing, also popularly known as Grounding, can be divided into two main categories that are Conventional and Maintenance Free Earthing. These pipes are used in critical earthing operations in Domestic Sector, Commercial Complexes and in various power transmission, electrical and electronic applications. Pipe earthing provides protection from electrical shock in case of insulation damage in an electrical equipment.Earthing Pipes are generally used in places where bedrock is beyond a depth of 3 meters (10 feet). These pipes are resistant to environmental conditions and offer low electrical resistance which is required for a good system. It is carried out by connecting the chassis of the electrical equipment with an earth pin on the main power outlet and then joining the wiring of the building to an electrically solid earth point. To reduce the resistivity & moisture content of soil, the pit where the earthing pipe is placed is filled with salt & charcoal in appropriate proportion.

What is Earthing?Earthing can be defined as a connection of “ exposed conductive parts” of an electrical circuit to earth in order to protect a user from shock or electrocution.. In Pipe grounding, a galvanized iron, copper or copper plated steel pipe (of approved length & diameter) is buried vertically in the earth to which all electrical equipments of an establishment, office or industry are connected by wires. The earth point is generally a copper pipe or a stake which is buried deep into the ground.Copper-clad steel pipes are most preferred for earthing as steel core provides strength to withstand the driving force and the copper provides resistance against corrosion.

Whereas Maintenance Free Earthing is ready made, standardized, scientifically developed, easy to install and has a longer life. Innovative designed as per the latest domain standards & norms, these earthing pipes are available in different shapes, sizes and dimensions as per the application requirement. Conventional Earthing can be done using GI Plates, Copper Earthing Pipes, Copper Plates and Cast Iron Plates.Pipe earthing is the best form of earthing which is highly cost effective. The main purposes of the pipe earth System are over voltage protection, voltage stabilization and to facilitate the operation of over current devices
