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

Installation of Lightning Conductor – Step by Step Guide
What is a Lightning Conductor? A lightning conductor is a thick copper wire or rod fixed onto the tallest point of a building and connected to the ground using a long metallic rod. It protects the building from lightning strikes by providing a low resistance path for the current to ...
Difference between Conventional and ESE Lightning Arresters
Follow us on LinkedIn for regular updates on everything about Lightning Arresters! Well, we all are aware of the lightning strike that occurs during the rainy season. But are we aware of the fact that we need to protect our structure and electrical system from it too? Yes, there is ...
Lugs – Types, Applications and Features
Scope of Electrical Lugs A cable lug also known as a cable terminal is a component of an electrical device that connects the cable to the device terminals. It simplifies the assembly of personnel, maintenance, and repair processes. A cable lug or connector is used when a permanent connection is ...
What are lightning conductors & how do they work?
Lightning – a natural phenomenon as breathtaking as it is deadly. It’s a spark that bridges the gap between negatively and positively charged sections of a cloud, and its power can cause significant damage, especially to tall buildings. However, thanks to modern engineering, we have a defence mechanism against this ...
How to Test ESE Type Lightning Arresters as per NFC 17-102:2011
ESE Type Lightning Arrester, also known as Early Streamer Emission Lightning Arrester, protect buildings from direct lightning strikes. The goal of this device is simple. It increases the protection radius compared to conventional arresters, which reduces the number of arresters and down conductors needed for a building, all while ensuring ...
Heat Shrink Materials Explained – Types, Features and Application
Heat Shrink Materials are made up of crosslinked thermoplastic elastomers that contracts or “shrinks” when exposed to heat. This characteristic allows it to tightly wrap around electrical conductors and termination part, providing insulation, weather stability and chemical resistance. In this blog, you will get a clear idea about the Heat ...
Know Shrink Ratios Before You Buy Heat Shrinkable Products
Shrink Ratios play a crucial role in the performance and selection of heat shrinkable products. Whether you’re working with uniform wires or irregular cable joints, understanding shrink ratios helps ensure proper fit, insulation, and long-term reliability. This blog explains what shrink ratios are, their common applications, and how they influence ...
Straight Through Joint Installation Explained!
Straight Through Joints are designed to connect two individual cables, ensuring uninterrupted power distribution. However, in this blog, we are using a single cable for ease of understanding. In real-world conditions, two identical cables are connected using the jointing kit. In this blog, you will learn the Straight Through Joint ...
MVCC Conductor Breakdown: Which Type Is Right for You?
What is Medium Voltage Covered Conductor ? Medium Voltage Covered Conductor (MVCC) is a type of power line where the conductor that carries electricity is covered with an insulating layer for safety. This design enhances various factors such as safety, reliability, and durability compared to traditional bare conductors, which are ...
