Earthing Insight

The process of transferring the immediate discharge of electric currents or fault currents directly inside the earth without damaging the building and to avoid hazardous accidents is called Earthing. It provides the simple path to leakage current. Earthing is very important for the following reasons:

It protects from short circuit currents.
It gives a simple path for the currents to flow even after the failure of insulation.
It protects the personnel and apparatus from high surges of electricity and lightning discharge.

Eliva Solutions provide the perfect analysis of earthing systems with regard to human safety under sudden surges of power. We have a group of qualified and trained experts to cater to the exact requirements by the clients. Our proficient chemical earthing system works innovatively to overcome the demerits of conventional earthing. The use of the latest devices of copper bonded rods offers higher durability and cost-effective solutions.

COMPARISON

Chemical v/s Traditional
1	It is based on pipe in pipe technology or flat in pipe technology	It is based on single strip with GI and copper plate earthing
2	Less space only 8 to 10-inch bore required	More space 2ft x 2ft bore required
3	Less maintenance, no need to pour water regularly	Required regular maintenance in every 3 month
4	No need to do regular testing	Regular testing required
5	Less corrosion	More corrosion
6	Long life 10 to 15 years	Less than 10 years
7	Cost effective solution	Costly solution

INSTALLATION PROCESS

lt is recommended to install Sl in clay or highly humid soil.
Make a pit preferably of 6-8 inch dia up to appropriate length of SI Gel Earthing Electrode. (i.e. 2mtr.Or 3mtr.)
It gives a simple path for the currents to flow even after the failure of insulation.
Put the SI Gel Earthing Electrode in vertical positions in the pit with the terminal on the top.
lt is recommended to fill-up the SI back fill compound surrounding of SI Gel Earthing electrode mixed with proper water pouring simultaneously.
Normally 2 bags of back-fill compound is recommended for our SI Gel Earthing Electrode but in some cases i.e. Rocky Area, bag can be varies..
Make joint with suitable copper wire/strip of G.I. wire/strip carry for Earthing from your equipment etc. upto the Earthing terminals provided on the top of SI Gel Earthing. Beware, don't hash on the electrode while handling and installations, do not use hammer etc
Put the chamber with the cover over the SI Gel Earthing Electrode & even petroleum jelly on the exposed part of SI Gel Earthing Electrode i.e. terminal.
Do proper water pouring up to 6-7 days after installation.

EARTHING

Earthing is the process of creating an alternative path for the flow of fault/excessive currents safely into the ground with minimal resistance or impedance.
The primary purpose of Earthing is to reduce the risk of serious electric shock from current leaking into non insulated metal parts of an appliance, power tool, or other electrical devices. In a properly Earthed system, such leaking/fault current is carried away harmlessly while tripping the fuse.
Earthing also provides protection from large electrical disturbances like lightning strikes and power surges. It also aids in the dissipation of hazardous static electrical charges.

CHEMICAL EARTHING

This is the advance technology which is more simple and safe solution compare to traditional earthing, like easy to install, economical, long life, ecofriendly & maintenance free.
Chemical Earthing is use of bentonite based or graphite-based compound along with Earthing electrode (a pipe or a rod) that helps in improving soil condition and reducing the soil resistivity.
