Objective: Indian Standard IS: 3043 – 2018 [Code of Practice for Earthing – Second Revision] says the following: Earthing refers to the complications which arise when electricity conducts via the ground. The terms earth and earthing here are used whether (or not) the earth is employed as a low impedance …
Scope: Earth rods constructed of austenitic stainless steel according to British specifications. Stainless steel rods are comparable to copper rods; however, they are more anodic than copper and can be used when galvanic corrosion is a concern. The current carrying capacity of stainless-steel rods is lesser as compared to copper. …
Scope Over the last century, electrical safety standards have evolved into very sophisticated systems that encompass all components of a safe installation, including TT Earthing Systems and other types in the category. In Low-voltage (LV) Electrical Installations, the reference standard IEC 60364 is used to determine the actions to …
Introduction Earthed materials connect to the conductive surface of the Earth. They are connected for the safety purpose of routing defective current into the ground (by blowing a fuse) or dissipating potentially hazardous discharges. When numerous earthed items are connected, the magnitude of their voltage is limited, and a harmful …
India’s renewable energy sector is growing by leaps and bounds. As of 2020, India has the 4th largest installed capacity for Renewable Energy, behind only China, US & Brazil. In 2020, 3 of the world’s top 5 largest solar parks were in India including, the 2255 MW Bhadla Solar Park …
Earthing or grounding is a critical aspect of electrical safety in any installation. It helps to prevent electrical hazards by providing a safe path for electrical fault currents to flow away from the system. A chemical earthing electrode is an advanced earthing equipment that offers numerous benefits over traditional stainless …
The prime objective of the Insulation Piercing Connector (IPC) is to distribute the network. The installation of insulated piercing connectors has been combined with outstanding mechanical, electrical, and environmental properties to create a connector capable of terminating aluminium or copper-stranded wires. Insulation Piercing Connector is used for all AB cable …
Electrical systems can fault at any time due to equipment failure, power surges caused by lightning strikes, or variations in the power grid. These faults can be hazardous for individuals handling electrical equipment, as they become an instantaneous pathway for current to flow. It’s here that the concept of proper …
A cable gland is a device attached to the end of an electrical cable to secure that particular part of the device. Cable Glands permit its entry into the electrical equipment, enhancing the system with earthing, grounding, bonding, insulation, sealing, retention and strain relief. They are applicable for the processing …
The specifications of bimetallic cable lugs (aluminium barrel – copper palm) destined for installation on circular or semi-circular sectorial shaped, stranded, compacted aluminium conductors of power cables are highlighted in this blog. Bimetallic lugs prevent galvanic action due to dissimilar contact, primarily when a copper bus bar is connected to …
