What is Maintenance Free Earthing?
Earthing, also known as grounding, is the practice of transferring electrical charges to the ground through low-resistance cables or rods to quickly discharge any stored energy. There are two main types of earthing: maintenance-free earthing and

How to Test Split Bolt Connectors as per UL?
Split bolt connectors join conductors and carry current through the connection point. If the joint heats up, loosens, or fails under load, the entire system can fail. These tests check if the connector can handle current, hold the conductor tight, and stay secure during service. In this blog, you will ...
Is Your Insulation Piercing Connector Safe for Live Line Working?
You are working on a live line and taking a connection using an Insulation Piercing Connector (IPC). Why does this not electrocute you? The answer lies in four things: the product design, testing, installation, and application. Let us break each one down. What is an Insulation Piercing Connector? An Insulation ...
Are your PV Modules Safe from a Lightning Strike?
Your PV modules are the most exposed and most critical part of your solar plant. In a utility-scale project, modules alone can contribute around 40% to 50% of the total project cost. They operate outdoors for approximately 25 years, exposed to heat, lightning, and electrical stress. If modules fail, generation ...
Key Steps in Designing an ESE Lightning Protection System
An Early Streamer Emission Lightning Arrester, this technology offers safety from direct lightning strikes. The aim of this device is simple. It increases the radius of protection as compared to a conventional arrester. It does this by sending the upward streamer from the ESE towards the downward streamer from the ...
Choose the Right Cable Gland For Your Project – Types Explained!
Have you ever noticed how cables safely enter and exit electrical enclosures? This is made possible by a small, yet critical component called a cable gland. Cable glands play a key role in protecting electrical wiring. They protect cables from moisture, contamination, corrosion, and flammable gases. More importantly, they ensure ...
Selecting Heat Shrink Products? 5 Key Factors You Should Know
Heat shrinkable products are polymer components that shrink when you apply heat. During manufacturing, we expand them, but when you heat them at site, they return to their original size and grip the cable tightly. In today’s blog, we will discuss the key factors you must consider while selecting heat ...
9 Components of Heat Shrink Termination Kit
A Termination Kit is used to safely connect a cable to equipment like switchgear, transformers, or panels. It protects the cable end and ensures reliable performance in low, medium, and high voltage applications. In today’s blog, we will discuss the key components inside a heat shrink termination kit. Components of ...
Plate Earthing Diagram – Understanding Different Parts
In any electrical system, things can go wrong. Wires can get damaged, insulation can crack, water can enter a switchboard, etc. When this happens, electricity starts flowing where it should not. This unwanted flow is called fault current. Fault current is dangerous because it collects on metal parts like panels, ...
Safety from Lightning – As Per IEC TR 62713
Every year, thousands of people are injured or killed by lightning strikes. What many don’t realize is that most of these disasters are preventable. In this blog, you will learn how to protect yourself from lighting strike as per IEC TR 62713. What is IEC TR 62713? This is an ...
