It is used in various applications to ensure safety and proper dissipation of fault currents into the ground. Below are some key features and details about SG Earthing Electrode:
### **Key Features**
1. **Material**:
- Made from high-grade Galvanized Iron, which offers excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
2. **Chemical Earthing**:
- It uses a chemical backfill compound, typically a conductive gel or powder, that surrounds the electrode.
- This compound enhances conductivity and moisture retention, reducing the overall resistance of the earthing system.
3. **Corrosion Resistance**:
- The GI electrode is designed to resist corrosion caused by soil moisture and chemical reactions, ensuring longevity.
4. **Maintenance-Free**:
- Requires minimal upkeep due to its durable design and use of chemical backfill.
5. **Eco-Friendly**:
- The materials used are non-toxic and safe for the environment.
6. **Applications**:
- Suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential purposes.
- Commonly used in lightning protection systems, power generation plants, telecommunications, and data centers.
### **Benefits**
- **Safety**: Prevents electric shocks by providing a safe path for fault currents.
- **Efficiency**: Ensures stable and low-resistance grounding, improving system reliability.
- **Durability**: Designed to last for years under varying environmental conditions.
- **Cost-Effective**: Long service life reduces replacement and maintenance costs.
### **Installation Tips**
- The electrode should be installed vertically in a pre-dug pit filled with the chemical backfill material.
- Ensure proper compaction of the chemical compound around the electrode.
- Test the resistance after installation to confirm it meets the required standards.
