Things You Should Know About the Chemical Earthing | Atharva Infrastructures

1. Things You Should Know About the Chemical Earthing Chemical earthing is an earthing in which we use chemical powder instead of salt and coal. In any ordinary earthing, salt and coal are placed on top of the electrode. When the chemical earthing, the chemical powder is placed over the electrode . Two types of powders are used in chemical earthing. One is Carbon powder and the other is Bentonite powder. Carbon powder is black in colour while bentonite powder is brown in colour. Earthing with carbon powder is used in a normal place while earthing with bentonite powder is used in a dry place. Where Chemical Earthing is Used: Chemical Earthing We can also use for home Chemical Earthing can be used everywhere like home, shop, company, etc. But with some exceptions, only chemical earthing is done and salt and coal earthing are not used in such a place. As in mountainous areas only chemical earthing is done. In a nutshell, such earthing is used where there is low humidity. How chemical earthing is done: A deep pit is first dug by an electrode for chemical earthing. After digging the pit, a little bit of water is sprinkled in it. The pit is then filled with 40% to 50% chemical powder and the The electrode is properly set in it. The end of the electrode is kept a little out of the hole so the reason for keeping it out is that The earthing wire can be easily attached to it. The remaining pit is then filled with chemical powder, after which the earth wire is connected to the reducing socket of the earth electrode. The reducing socket has new welding that we attach to the earthing wire. Your Chemical Earthing is ready which we can start using in the next 2 to 3 days. Technical Aspects of Chemical Earthing Electrode: If any electrical equipment does not have sufficient earthing, it may fail, posing a risk to human life if it comes into touch with fault currents. Any electrical circuits maximum short circuit current is determined by the transformers capacity and the type of load, which can range in thousands of amperes. Current ratings of nearly 21kA are the short circuit capacity of a 1000kVA transformer. However, only a few amperes of current are required to cause human death. Hence, for the safe discharge of fault current permanent earthing is necessary. Chemical Earthing Electrode has galvanised or copper-bonded steel pipes filled with Crystalline Chemical Compounds containing 60% sodium chloride and 40% calcium chloride. This combination allows for strong conductivity between the electrode and the ground, enabling high fault currents to drain quickly and the structure to remain safe.

2. Advantages: ● The electrode is coated in copper, which makes it extremely conductive and lowers the risk ● of corrosion ● It can withstand strong fault currents and lower maintenance expenses ● The pipe earthing is a small unit that may mount close to the equipment, only 2-5 metres ● away ● Fewer fluctuations of ohmic values and current [For More Details] Contact Us Visit us Corporate Office - Atharva Infrastructures Setu, Plot No.69, Bharat Kunj Colony No.2, PWD society, Erandwane, Kothrud, Pune - 411038 Maharashtra, India.
