  1. Keep Yourself Protected With LEC’s Grounding Rod

  2. Grounding protection is referred to as protective earthing. It is an essential technical measure taken to prevent personal electric shock and ensure the regular operation of electrical equipment. The basic principle of grounding rod and protection is to limit the leakage current of the leakage device to the ground so that it does not exceed a specific safety range. Once the protection device exceeds a particular set value, the power supply can be automatically cut off.

  3. The grounding protection has the following advantages: • It limits the voltage that will be applied to the equipment insulation. • Recall that the materials used in the insulation have to be able to withstand the applied voltage. • Limits system voltage to ground or equipment enclosures under normal and fault conditions, increasing personnel safety. • Minimizes potential transient overvoltages. • Provides for a source of ground-fault current relaying, allowing fast fault clearing.

  4. Transient overvoltages are daily events in electric power systems. Switching is their main initiator, but switching surges are relatively easy to handle. However, lightning surges are the most severe and challenging to manage. They may increase the system voltage to many times the rated voltage. If the equipment in the power system is not protected against lightning surges, considerable damage will occur. LEC’s lightning protection system diverts lightning and provides a specific path for conducting the surges safely to the ground by adequate down conductors to grounding rod. Thus, it helps prevent disastrous events like fires, injuries, and deaths. Their patented Chem-Rod Grounding Electrode is the latest electrode used worldwide. It provides a low surge impedance as well as low resistance earth contact. The ground augmentation fill is the key component that makes this Chem-Rod maintenance-free, giving a longer performance and ensuring the best grounding connection possible. It has a large conductive surface but takes up far less land mass and can easily replace ten conventional grounding rods. In conclusion, grounding is essential in preventing electrical faults from becoming dangerous by providing a safe pathway for electric currents to travel without risking human life or property damage. Keep yourself protected adequately with grounded equipment today.
