Strip Earthing

What is Strip Earthing? Explanation & Installation Procedure

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 …

Earth Mats

Earth Mats – Why do we need them?

An Earth Mat is a mesh formed of bare metallic conductors and buried in shallow soil to provide better safety from touch and step potential. Earth mats are a part of the grounding system implemented in substations, production plants, industrial areas, etc., where high power handling occurs. More efficient grounding …

Exothermic Welding

How to Use Exothermic Welding?

Exothermic welding, also known as exothermic bonding, thermite welding (TW), and thermit welding, is a welding technique that permanently joins conductors using molten metal. An exothermic reaction of a thermite composition heats the metal, and no external source of heat or current is required. An aluminothermic reaction between aluminium powder …
