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 ...
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, ...
 In today’s video, we will discuss how to select your Earth Rod’s dimensions and some common misconceptions related to it. Wrong selection of these dimensions puts your electrical safety at risk. What is an Earth Rod? An earth rod is a type of earth electrode, and is an essential part ...
Nowadays, the world is spending billions of dollars on building new solar plants. Some of them have very smart strategies to produce profitable electricity and to ensure that their plants are safe for the next 25 to 30 years. But what is their secret? Very simple: adhering to international quality ...
In this blog, we will discuss some common mistakes most people make while installing earthing. So that you can avoid them. What is Earthing? Earthing, also known as grounding, is a process that connects your structure’s electrical system to the earth. This provides a low-resistance path for fault currents, protecting ...
 In today’s blog, we will cover 20 standards that help you understand Earthing and Lightning Protection better. Everyone talks about electrical failures after they happen. But no one asks, “Was your system installed as per the standard?” These standards tell us where to crimp, how to install, what size to ...
Recently, during the monsoon, a new LED failed. Everyone blamed the brand, but the real reason was a lightning strike. We all know how lightning strikes. It hits the tallest object and sends a high current into the ground. But even when it does not strike a structure directly, we ...
Earth resistance is the measure of how easily electric current can flow from an electrode into the ground. Lower resistance ensures the current dissipates faster and more safely during a fault. This resistance depends mostly on soil resistivity. To keep the value within safe limits, the soil around the electrode ...
UL certification represents a recognized standard for safety and reliability in earthing and lightning protection. For products such as ground rods and clamps used in these systems, conducting thorough testing is essential. These components play a crucial role in safeguarding against electrical faults and lightning strikes, and their proper function ...
