    Earthing

     Copper wire 6mm2


     Copper Rod (1-meter distance between each rod if more than 1)
     Lightning Arrestor
     Earthing material or mixture of sand, coal, salt and lime
     Copper plate (nut bolts are also of copper to avoid rusting)
     Dig hole 8’-15’ until moisture comes.
     16mm2 2 core cable with lighting arrestor (one point with lighting arrestor, while another
    point with plates body).
     Earth Fault Loop Impedance Tester

    Planning and Design:

    **2. Components Selection:

     Earthing Electrode: Choose based on soil resistivity (e.g., rods, plates, or


    conductors).
     Earthing Conductor: Select appropriate size and material for connecting the electrode
    to the electrical system.
     Earthing Busbar: For connecting multiple earthing conductors to a common point.
     Earthing Rods: Commonly made of copper or galvanized steel.
     Earthing Plates: Used in areas with high soil resistivity.
     Earth Fault Loop Impedance Tester: For testing the effectiveness of the earthing
    system.

    **3. Installation of Earthing Electrodes:

     Drive the Electrode: Install earthing rods vertically into the ground or horizontally if
    necessary. Ensure they are driven to a depth that meets local code requirements and
    achieves the desired resistance.
     Place Earthing Plates: If using plates, bury them horizontally at a suitable depth.

    **4. Connecting the Earthing Conductor:

     Prepare the Conductor: Clean and strip the ends of the earthing conductor.
     Attach to Electrode: Securely connect the conductor to the earthing electrode using
    appropriate clamps or connections.
     Connect to Electrical System: Route the conductor to the main electrical panel and
    connect it to the earthing busbar or terminal.

    **5. Testing:

     Earth Resistance Measurement: Use an Earth Fault Loop Impedance Tester to


    measure the resistance of the earthing system. Ensure it meets the required values as
    per regulations.
     Check Connections: Verify all connections are secure and free of corrosion.
    **6. Documentation and Compliance:

     Record Data: Document the installation, including measurements and any test
    results.
     Compliance Check: Ensure the installation meets local electrical codes and
    standards.

    **7. Maintenance:

     Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect the earthing system for signs of wear,
    corrosion, or damage.
     Testing: Perform regular resistance testing to ensure ongoing effectiveness.
