About Chemical Earthing Electrode

Chemical earthing is one of the earthing processes that professionals follow in places especially that have moisture in the soil, like hilly areas. Chemical earthing can be done horizontally as well as vertically. The components required include conductor, earth wire, back fill compound/chemical, and chemical earthing electrode. This maintenance free earthing system requires less space for installation and operation. GI rod is mainly used in chemical earthing. This electrode has terminal at the top and chemicals are completely filled in it. Chemical earthing dissipates lightning strikes and thus protects machines and equipment.

Advantages:

Using a GI or Galvanized Earthing Electrode has many benefits, including

Compared to a copper electrode, the cost is lower.
In comparison to a typical iron rod, the corrosion process is slower.
It continues for over 6-7 years.

FAQs

Which type of earth electrode is better?

Safety is the first and foremost reason for earthing in an electrical network. Once grounding of metallic portions of electrical equipment is done, then there are no dangerous voltages in the equipment case. In an event of contact between the live wire and the grounded case, the circuit is shorted, and the fuse will blow. This causes absence of harmful voltages. Not just earthing saves equipment and huma lives, but also provide protection against over-voltage and stabilizes voltage. Elapp Power Private Limited supplies Copper and GI earth electrode. Copper earth electrode is better because of its higher conductivity. Copper electrode when used in earthing maintains resistivity in soil or rock environments. In terms of life, copper is better than GI.

What is the purpose of having earth electrode?

A conductor mainly used for earthing is an earth electrode. A metal plate or any type of conductor in electric wiring is immersed in the ground to create a conductive path to the ground. Earth electrode is an electrical safety system used in residential areas in order to prevent electrical incidents and ensure safety of assets and human lives. Copper or any other material is used for making earth electrode. In an event of electricity overflow, this electrode safely discharges that electric current.

How does an earth electrode work?

The electric current that can harm devices and equipment can be easily diverted when an earthing system is in place. The earth electrode does this job by safely diverting the current from a damaged cable or wiring to the earth. The earth electrode connected to an electrical circuit is fitted into the ground near the home's switchboard. It enables excessive electricity from the circuits in the home to travel safely along the earth wire to the electrode and finally reach to the ground without causing anyone danger. The safety switch prevents electric shock to people.

What Cannot be used as an earth electrode?

There are several systems and materials that must not be used as an earth electrode, for example aluminium, structural reinforcing steel and metal underground gas piping systems.

Where should earth electrode be placed?

The earth electrode is place under the earth in installations, like remote buildings, camping parks, exhibitions, construction sites, EV charging points, etc.

Long-Lasting Performance and Reliability

With a corrosion-resistant galvanized steel core and thick copper outer coating, this electrode guarantees a service life exceeding 30 years even in aggressive soil conditions. Its high mechanical strength and excellent moisture retention preserve consistent conductivity, making it ideal for reliable earthing in substations, telecom towers, and industrial facilities.

Advanced Moisture Retention and Conductivity Enhancement

Each electrode comes with a specially formulated backfill compound that optimizes moisture retention and minimizes resistivity. This ensures dependable earthing performance across various soil types, including dry or rocky ground, making the electrode adaptable for wide-ranging applications and climates.

Space-Efficient and Easy Installation

The cylindrical shape and direct burial installation simplify on-site handling, requiring minimal space for deployment. The electrodes robust packing safeguards it during transport and storage, while a range of standard sizes and custom options allow seamless integration with diverse grounding system requirements.

FAQs of Chemical Earthing Electrode:

Q: How is the Chemical Earthing Electrode installed, and what makes it space efficient?

A: The electrode is designed for direct burial into the ground, requiring minimal excavation. Its cylindrical shape and compact diameter (commonly 25mm, 32mm, or 50mm) allow it to fit in tight spaces, making it suitable for installations where space is limited.

Q: What is the role of the supplied backfill compound in the earthing process?

A: The provided earth enhancement (backfill) compound improves moisture retention around the electrode, significantly reducing soil resistivity. This leads to better conductivity and stable, low-ohmic earthing performance, even in challenging soil conditions.

Q: Where can these electrodes be used effectively?

A: These electrodes are suitable for a wide range of applications, including electrical substations, industrial plants, large commercial buildings, and telecom towers. Their high current carrying capacity ensures safe dissipation of fault, lightning, and leakage currents in critical infrastructure.

Q: What benefits does the copper-bonded outer coating provide?

A: The thick molecular copper layer (100 microns, copper purity >99.9%) offers excellent corrosion resistance, protecting the inner galvanized steel core from soil chemicals and moisture. This extends the lifespan and reliability of the earthing system beyond 30 years.

Q: How does the electrode provide maintenance-free operation?

A: The combination of corrosion-resistant materials and a highly conductive backfill compound ensures the electrode maintains low resistance over time without the need for regular maintenance, inspections, or recharging with chemicals.

Q: What customizations are available for these earthing electrodes?

A: Manufacturers typically offer customizable lengths (2 meters standard with 2mm tolerance) and diameters (25mm, 32mm, and 50mm are common), along with variations in weight and copper thickness to suit different project requirements.

Q: What process is followed to ensure the safety and longevity of the product during transportation?

A: Each electrode is wrapped and packed in protective covers to safeguard against physical damage and environmental exposure during shipping and handling, maintaining product integrity until installation.
