Durable GI Construction & StandardsFabricated from high-purity galvanized iron, the Electrogrip electrode meets IS 2062 material standards and is fully galvanized as per IS 2629/IS 4759/BSEN ISO 1461. Its substantial outer GI coating provides enhanced longevity and performance even in aggressive soil environments, helping prevent corrosion over years of operation.
Effective Earthing for Electrical SafetyThis 60mm diameter, 2-meter rod ensures efficient and safe grounding for a range of applications, including residential buildings, substations, industrial plants, and telecom towers. The low-resistivity core enables rapid dissipation of fault currents to earth, mitigating electrical hazards and safeguarding equipment and personnel.
Installation and VersatilityDesigned for ease of installation, this electrode uses a bolt-in clamp terminal compatible with standard wiring systems. Its adaptability to all soil types makes it suitable for use across India, both for new installations and system upgrades. Poly wrap or wooden crate packing ensures it arrives safely on-site, ready for deployment.
FAQ's of Electrogrip 60mm 2 Meter GI Earthing Electrode:
Q: How is the Electrogrip 60mm GI Earthing Electrode installed?
A: This earthing electrode is typically installed by driving or burying the cylindrical rod vertically into the ground. The bolt-in clamp terminal allows secure connection to the earth conductor. Professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal soil contact and electrical safety.
Q: What materials and standards are used in the manufacturing process?
A: The electrode is crafted from mild steel per IS 2062, fully galvanized to meet IS 2629/IS 4759/BSEN ISO 1461 standards. The outer GI coating ranges from 80-100 microns, providing robust corrosion protection and meeting IS-grade specifications for mechanical and chemical resistance.
Q: When should this type of GI earthing electrode be used?
A: The 60mm GI earthing electrode is ideal for grounding requirements in buildings, industrial plants, substations, and telecom towers. Its high resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress makes it suitable for both new installations and the replacement of existing grounding systems.
Q: Where can the Electrogrip GI Earthing Electrode be applied?
A: This electrode is designed for use in a wide variety of locations across India. Due to its robust design and effective soil compatibility, it can be installed in residential, commercial, and industrial sites-including areas with high soil resistivity or moisture content.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this electrode over traditional earthing methods?
A: Advantages include maintenance-free operation, superior corrosion protection via a 100% GI coating, high mechanical strength (up to 600 MPa tensile strength), long service life (up to 25 years), and efficient current dissipation even in diverse soil conditions.
Q: Is this electrode compatible with copper conductors and clamps?
A: While the electrode itself is galvanized iron (not copper bonded), its bolt-in clamp connection can accommodate standard copper earth wires or strips, provided that proper bimetallic connectors are used to prevent electrolysis.
Q: How does the electrode ensure reliable grounding without ongoing maintenance?
A: The thick GI coating and robust construction provide reliable, consistent earthing with minimal degradation over decades, eliminating the need for routine maintenance typically required by traditional earth pits or chemical electrodes.
