What is Chemical Earthing and why should one Switch-Over to it soon?

With the evolution of Fast Innovations & new technologies, the need for advanced and superior Earthing had gone many-fold years ago. Many of us switched over to advance Chemical Earthing years ago but a lot have still to switch over to Chemical Earthing. It's high time for all of us to switch over to advance Chemical Earthing to protect our lives and facilities from electrical shocks, appliance failures, damages, fire and other losses.

The wisdom lies in turning to Chemical Earthing soon without fail.

What is Chemical Earthing all about - Chemical Earthing uses advanced chemicals such as Silica, Bentonite, Marcontile, etc., as Back Fill Compound to keep the soil resistance around the Earthing Electrodes minimum at all times from Peak summers to extrem-dry environmental conditions and in all areas from Stony dry lands to High range mountains, hilltops, etc. and that too without any addition of water or chemicals after the installation of chemical earthing.

Chemical Earthing provides any types of earthing resistance from 0.2 Ohms to less than 5 ohms, depending upon one's requirement. For critical applications 0.2 Ohms is usually desirable, whereas less than 5 ohms is good for general applications, while less than 10 Ohms is good enough for remote applications.

Chemical Earthing is installed in compliance with IS3043-1987 and IEC 60364. It is done using different types of Earthing Electrodes (discussed in the end) and advanced Back Fill Compounds depending on the type of soils and the desired earthing resistance requirements. It is the best fit for all different type of climates and environments.

Chemical Earthing is used for all wide range of applications and facilities like residences, offices, schools, institutions, commercial complexes, industries, hospitals, data centers, military installations, airports, oil and gas plants, refineries, solar panels, substations, etc. From a small single-load application to a massive load-consuming industry or some other facility, all require Chemical Earthing.

How Chemical Earthing is Done - Chemical Earthing requires the installation of an earthing electrode in the ground after digging a 1 to 3 meters hole of 4-5 inches dia. The earthing pit, is then filled and packed with the advanced Back Fill Compound. The Back Fill Compound can be added to the dug hole pit in the form of slurry or is added dry and then watered to make it stick around the earthing electrode to hold it tightly from all sides. The installed Earthing Electrode is then connected to the application/load by GI or Copper Strip. The GI or Earthing Strip connects the Earthing Electrode Terminal emerging out of the ground on its top to the load/application.
