In this blog, we will talk about the tools required for installing MV Covered Conductor Accessories. By the end of this blog, you will know exactly which tools are needed. This way, you can make a checklist and complete the installation on time without delays. What are Covered Conductors? Covered ...
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 ...
In today’s blog, we will discuss Covered Conductors and their accessories. By the end of this blog, you will understand what Covered Conductors are, their sizes, and the key accessories mandatory for their performance. What are Covered Conductors? They resemble conventional overhead power cables. But they are wrapped in multiple ...
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 ...

Lightning arrester rods, surge arresters, or lightning conductors are metal rods installed on a building for lightning protection. They protect structures or substations from the travelling waves of lightning and divert the abnormally high voltage to the ground. They are made from copper and brass alloy which are good conductors ...
In this trending era of technology and development, earthing in substations plays a vital role. An electrical power system comprises a network of electrical elements that can be used to generate, distribute and transmit electrical energy through transmission lines. A substation is a part of an electrical power system that ...
The electrically conductive connection between the air-termination system and the earth-termination system is the down conductor system. The purpose of down-conductor systems is to safely transport intercepted lightning current to the earth-termination system without causing excessive temperature spikes that could harm the structure. It must be mounted to ensure that ...
