Earthing / Grounding Works

Earthing systems provide a direct path for lightning currents, whether direct or induced, to ground and also provide a path for stray currents from equipment to ground such that fault currents will not cause equipment to assume hazardous voltages, and will result in tripping of protective devices such as MCBs or ELCBs.

Equipment grounding is to ensure that operating equipment within a structure is properly grounded. These two grounding systems are required to be kept separate except for a connection between the two systems to prevent differences in potential from a possible flashover from a lightning strike. The purpose of a ground besides the protection of people, plants and equipment is to provide a safe path for the dissipation of fault currents, lightning strikes, static discharges, EMI and RFI signals and Interference. Earth/Grounding works include following:

  • Earthing Grid

  • Earthing Mesh

  • Earth Rods & Bare Copper Conductors

  • Earth Pits

  • Application of Bentonite Powder
