Earthing Pipes - Uses and Features

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. 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. The earth point is generally a copper pipe or a stake which is buried deep into the ground.

Earthing, also known as Grounding, can be divided into two main categories that are Conventional Earthing and Maintenance Free Earthing. Conventional Earthing can be done using GI Plates, Copper Earthing Pipes, Copper Plates and Cast Iron Plates. Whereas Maintenance Free Earthing is ready made, standardized, scientifically developed, easy to install and has a longer life.

Earthing Pipes

Pipe earthing is the best form of earthing which is highly cost effective. In Pipe Earthing, 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. To reduce the resistivity & moisture content of soil, the pit where the Earthing Pipe is placed is filled with salt & charcoal in appropriate proportion.

Earthing Pipes are generally used in places where bedrock is beyond a depth of 3 meters (10 feet). The main purposes of the Pipe Earthing System are over voltage protection, voltage stabilization and to facilitate the operation of over current devices. Pipe Earthing provides protection from electrical shock in case of insulation damage in an electrical equipment. These pipes are used in critical earthing operations in Domestic Sector, Commercial Complexes and in various power transmission, electrical and electronic applications. These pipes are resistant to environmental conditions and offer low electrical resistance which is required for a good earthing system.

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. 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.
