Earthing and Lightning Protection
Earthing and lightning protection are critical aspects of electrical systems that ensure the safety of people and equipment in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Proper earthing and lightning protection measures are essential to mitigate the risks associated with electrical faults, lightning strikes, and surges.
Earthing, also known as grounding, is a crucial safety feature that helps prevent electric shocks and protects electrical equipment from damage. An effective earthing system provides a path for fault currents to flow safely into the ground, reducing the risk of electric shock and fire hazards. It also helps stabilize voltages and ensures the proper functioning of electrical circuits. There are different types of earthing systems, including rod earthing, strip earthing, and plate earthing, each suitable for different soil conditions and electrical requirements. It is important to design and install the right type of earthing system based on the specific needs of the site to ensure optimal performance and safety.
