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 conventional system earthing. In this article, we will focus on maintenance-free earthing, which is …
In the world of electrical safety, earthing or grounding is a critical safety measure that protects both people and equipment. In this blog, you will understand the concept of “Structural Earthing,” a standard construction practice that offers numerous benefits. We’ll also compare it with “Conventional Earthing” another essential method in …
Earthing is defined as “the method of sending charges directly to the ground through low resistance wire to cause an immediate discharge of electrical energy.” The least resistant channel for fault current leaking is chosen, which calls for a low-resistance earthing cable. Leakage of current from electric appliances is the …
Where do Netflix & Amazon Prime store the thousands of Movies & TV Shows they stream on their websites and apps? They don’t keep all these terabytes of data on your computer or your phone. They keep them in Data Centres – massive buildings with thousands of racks of servers …
The importance of the lightning protection system for any building cannot be overstated. Lightning protection systems are essential to protect buildings from lightning strikes and the damages caused to the structure, the internal system, and the people inside. To design an effective system for complete protection we need to first …
What are Ground Rods? Ground rods are a crucial component of the earthing system. They are highly conducting metallic rods that are buried deep into the soil and play a significant role in protecting the electrical system from over-current and related damages. Ground rods are typically made of solid copper, …
Did you know that 19% of Electricity generated in India is lost while transmitting from the generation plant to the end customer. If you look at Data from the World Bank, the average Electric power transmission and distribution losses for the World was 8% in 2014. Hence, Electric Companies are …
Petrol stations are high-risk locations considering the huge explosion that can happen due to any small ignition from lightning strikes or other sources. There are special building regulations in the case of petrol stations considering these risk factors. The lightning protection for petrol stations must be designed based on the …
What are Surges? Surges, or transients, are brief overvoltage spikes or disturbances in a power waveform that can damage, degrade, or destroy electronic or electrical equipment. This sudden high voltage is beyond the voltage limit that the circuit is designed to handle. Surges are very short and last only for …
A lightning protection system is an essential element of any building or facility to protect it from the damaging effects of lightning events. Testing the efficiency and the continuity of the Lighting Protection system is crucial for attaining the required lightning protection. The lightning protection system must be tested …
