“Isolated” or “Independent” Earth electrode is nothing but an ‘Electrically independent” earth electrode, which by definition is totally different from the “myth” or what we perceive generally. An earthing &grounding system connects certain elements of an electric power system to the ground, generally the Earth's conductive surface.

Lightning surges from Mother Nature & switching surges from radiation or generated internally & propagated through metallic structures pose an enormous problem to windmill electronics as the “height” of the windmill and exposed nature of installation plays a crucial role in inviting surges.

Soil resistivity is a measurement of the resistance or electric current that the soil conducts.The design of a system based on passing current across the surface of the earth is a key component.

Lightning is a natural phenomenon involving a very high quantum of destructive energy. Lightning is unavoidable. Practical and reliable protection is the only solution. The flash is generated by a thunderstorm conflicting loads in the sky.

Grounding is always the first line of defense in terms of electrical safety. For the safety of persons and equipment and the timely functioning of protection equipment connected to the electrical system a good grounding system needed.

An effective grounding system is a fundamental requirement of any electrical systems for operational and safety aspects. Every electrical installation is required to have a good and reliable earthing system.

As we discussed in our earlier blog how the working principle of SPD is different from Fuse. Read Solutions to avoid Surges in Industrial and Commercial power systems to understand the difference between SPD & Fuse.

A lightning protection system is designed to safeguard properties from fire or electrical damage, also to keep people from being injured or killed in buildings.Internal and exterior lightning protection, such as Earthing and Surge protection are included in a lightning protection system.

Retail industry covers a wide range of service outlets & variety of businesses such as department & apparel stores, supermarkets, warehouses etc.Commercial buildings in the retail industry are full of combustible products such as clothing, rubber, and goods, thus an electrical safety audit is required for the protection.

Earth-pits are the most common type of earthing, especially for electrical networks. The practice of connecting earthing to a neutral point is known as grounding.

The technology to achieve good earthing mainly depends on the Backfill Compound. Soil treatment for good earthing is a positive technique of improving the resistance of earth electrodes.JEF ECO-SAFE Grounding system is truly MAINTENANCE FREE.
