Objectives of earthing
Provide an alternative path tor the fault current to flow so that it will not endanger man or machine.
Ensure that all exposed conductive parts do not reach a dangerous potential.I\/laintain the voltage at any part of an electrical system at a known value so as to prevent over current or excessive voltage developing in the machinery.
End Result
Human safety
Protect equipment
Electrostatic discharge
What ls Earthing
The primary purpose of earthing is to reduce the risk of serious electric shock from current leaking into uninsulated 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.
Although most electrical systems have fuses or circuit breakers for protection against a fault current, the human body may be fatally electrocuted by a current of less than one ampere which is well below the point at which a fuse or breaker will operate. Earthing helps minimize such hazards from occurring.
Over the years, billions of dollars worth of property has been destroyed due to electrical failures, short circuits etc causing fires, electrocutions and other mishaps. But more importantly, lives were lost.
This makes earthing of crucial importance everywhere electricity is used.
Installation Method
It is very important that Ashlok earthing systems are installed correctly for system to work safely, to get maximum beneļ¬t & advantage. Upon proper installation. the earthing system exhibits low earth resistance value compared to conventional earthing system in a given soil conditions. Please notethatASHLOk earthing system once installed needs very little or negligible maintenance, however, pouring of few bucket of waters in side and around the earth pits is recommended in poorsoil conditions, It is to be understood thatearth resistance value of any earthing system varies from place to place since soils are hardly homogeneous in nature and exhibits different & varying soil resistivity even in close proximity. in such cases, use of multiple earth pits in grid formation is recommended to get the desired earth resistance value.
Note: Since there exist varying types ofsoil & environment conditions around the world, the best resistance values for an earthing system vary.
Normal Soil
Make a bore of 8” to 10" in dia up to the electrode length of 2/3 meters.
Fill the bottom 4" of the bore with the supplied BFC (Electrodite).
Vertically, place the electrode in the centre of the pit.
Fill the cavityaround theelectrodewith the BFC(E|ectrodite).
Ensure there are no air gaps in the BFC filled cavity region.
Now pour sufficient water into the earth pit until the BFC takes theform of a paste/mud. Allow the pit toabsorb thewaterand settle,
Test the earth pit and makethe required connectionsto theelectrical service box
Caution: Avoid excess watering and do NOT hammerthe electrode.
