You will spend approximately 18 to 20 crores on a 5 MW solar plant. Therefore, you need a smart strategy to produce profitable electricity and ensure your plant is safe for at least 25-30 years. What’s the secret? It’s quite simple – Earthing for Solar. Firstly, setting up a solar ...
Do you know what helps maintain the safety of you and your electrical appliances from fault current? A metal rod called Earth Rod. These Copper Rods establish quality earthing systems in overhead, underground electricity distribution and transmission networks. They provide ground contact in all soil conditions like high voltage substations, ...
In this blog, we will understand the surge risks faced in EV charging stations and the process of choosing the right Surge Protector Devices for your EV Charging Station. The surge risks associated with Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations are an emerging concern as the adoption of EVs accelerates globally. ...
For safe electrical earthing and bonding, the choice of an appropriate Rod Earthing is pivotal for ensuring safety, reliability, and longevity of electrical installations. Rod Earthing serve as a crucial component in grounding systems, providing a path for fault currents to safely dissipate into the earth. This blog delves into ...
In this blog we will understand how to terminate a cable lug into an Earth bar, by the end of this blog you will understand the factors determining and methods utilised in the process. This blog serves as an in-depth guide on cable lug termination onto earth bars, crucial for ...
Electrical earthing calculations are an integral part of electrical protective wiring. There are many pieces of equipment and appliances with metal surfaces around us. These metal surfaces could become energized due to lightning or wiring faults. If they do not have sufficient earthing and a person touches this surface, he ...
What is an Earth Electrode? Earth Rods are a type of Earth Electrode. An Earth Electrode is a conducting element buried directly in the ground, facilitating the flow of fault currents towards the ground. This means that Earth Electrodes are metallic and, since they have to be buried for long ...
An electrical conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it. However choosing between “copper-clad steel conductors” and “pure copper conductors” for lightning protection can be confusing, as both serve similar purposes. But, selecting the wrong one can make a significant difference. Conductors can generally be classified by ...
A grounding system is a network of conductors that provides a low-impedance path for electrical fault currents to flow safely to the earth. The purpose of a grounding system is to protect people and equipment from electrical hazards, such as electrical shock and equipment damage. In an electrical distribution system, ...
In the realm of electrical grounding, one method stands out due to its unique approach and historical significance: Ufer Grounding. Officially recognized as a concrete-encased grounding electrode in the National Electrical Code (NEC), this grounding technique has proven to be a reliable solution, particularly in arid regions where conventional grounding ...
