FAQ's of Low Resistivity Earthing Compound:
Q: How is Low Resistivity Earthing Compound used during installation?
A: This compound is typically mixed with water to form a slurry or poured dry as a backfill material around earthing electrodes in ground pits. It improves conductivity between the electrode and the surrounding soil, ensuring reliable electrical performance.
Q: What benefits does this earthing compound provide compared to traditional backfill materials?
A: It offers much lower electrical resistivity, high conductivity due to conductive minerals, non-corrosiveness to copper and GI, and excellent thermal and environmental stability. Unlike some materials, it does not leach, wash away, or require regular replenishment, leading to durable, long-term grounding solutions.
Q: When should this product be applied in an electrical grounding system?
A: For optimal results, the compound should be installed during the construction or upgrade of grounding systems in substations, lightning protection setups, or wherever reduction of soil resistivity is needed to comply with safety standards.
Q: Where can this earthing compound be used effectively?
A: It is suitable for a wide range of applications including substation earthing, lightning protection, electrical grounding in industrial, commercial, or infrastructure projects, and works effectively with all types of ground electrodes.
Q: What is the process for storing this earthing compound?
A: Store the compound in sealed 25 kg HDPE bags, kept in a dry, cool area to avoid exposure to moisture. Proper storage ensures an unlimited shelf life and maintains the product's performance characteristics.
Q: Is the compound environmentally friendly and safe to handle?
A: Yes, this compound is non-poisonous, odorless, non-flammable, and does not support bacterial growth. It is environmentally safe and does not leach, pollute groundwater, or degrade soil quality.
Q: How does the product improve the reliability of electrical earthing systems?
A: By significantly lowering ground resistance and maintaining stable conductivity even in varied environmental conditions, it helps protect equipment and infrastructure from electrical faults, lightning strikes, and improves overall system safety.
