What is chemical earthing?
When we hear the word chemical earthing the first question that comes to our mind is what it is so in this article you will understand in a simple way.
Whenever we use chemical powder in place of salt and coal it is called chemical earthing and BENTONITE powder is used for chemical earthing the benefit of BENTONITE powder is it can maintain moisture levels in a region of rocky terrain and dry areas it is because it can work as backfill material to absorb moisture and lower the resistance to the earth
Commonly, In ordinary earthing coal and
salt is used and placed on the top of the electrode.

GI Earthing Electrode
●
The process of
galvanization over iron makes the electrode corrosion resistant.
●
GI earthing electrodes are
suitable for all types of soil.
●
Moisturization is not
necessary periodically.
●
The dissipation of the
current rate is high.
Advantages
●
GI earthing electrodes
requires less maintenance.
●
Less space is required in
GI earthing.
●
Fast installation and easy
on site.
●
Necessity of moisturization
is very less.
●
Low impedance while
grounding.
Application
High-rise buildings protection.
Housing societies protection.
GI Earthing Electrode specifications-
Colour- Silver
Brand- Renown earth
Material- GI
Length of rod, shape and diameter is
customizable
What is an earthing electrode?
Earthing electrodes depontentialize the
electric discharge during lightning
What is a GI earthing electrode?
Galvanised Iron (GI) is made from the alloy of iron
(Fe) and zinc (Zn). When the alloyed material is used as an earthing electrode,
it is known as Galvanised Iron Earthing Electrode.
Pure
Copper Electrode
The pure copper electrode is made up of pure copper from its ores. Due to very high conductivity, the pure copper electrode is considered one of the best electrodes in the market and that is the reason that it prefers over GI earthing electrode
Features
●
Copper is a less reactive reagent,
therefore it is corrosion-resistant.
●
Fast current dissipation.
●
Plenty of free electrons in its outermost
orbital due to high electrical conductivity.
Advantages
●
Pure copper electrodes can easily gel
with any kind of soil.
●
It is maintenance-free.
●
Pure copper electrodes have a high
electrical conductivity.
●
It has a high life expectancy.
Applications
It is used in housing societies and high-rise
buildings.
Pure copper electrode specifications-
Shape, type and diameter- As per requirement
Colour- Brown
Brand- Renown Earth
Usage/ Application- Earthing
Type- Earthing Electrode
The process to clean copper electrodes?
Rinse the surface for minutes with distilled water.
Copper Bonded Electrode
With the help of electrolytic cell copper bonded
electrodes are manufactured by the process called electroplating.
This process includes mild steel coated with copper in an
electrolytic cell. Copper bonded helps to pass fault current in the ground.
Copper bonded electrodes protect the life of humans from electric shock and
electrical damage to the equipment due to lightning. Copper bonded electrode
presents excellent endurance against oxidation and it is based on global
technology and it is an extremely exceptional product. It is more useful than
simple GI electrodes. Copper bonded electrode coating thickness confirms stable performance, which is why it will be a
cost-effective option for users.
●
It has a high life expectancy.
●
100-micron copper is coated on the
electrode.
●
High current dissipation.
●
High electrical conductance.
Advantages
Good for every kind of soil.
Long-life duration.
No recurrent maintenance is required.
Less space is required for installation.
