Every electrical system should be earthed to get a low resistance path for dissipation of current into the earth. Major accidents take place because of improper equipment earthing or leakage current. Earth fault current directly affect the human safety. Earthing should be measured at regular intervals so as to ensure that the resistance of the earth is maintained minimum. Its main purpose is to minimize the risks of fire and shock hazards.

Why is grounding electricity so important?

Grounding is important, because it protects users of electricity from potentially fatal electrical shocks. This is accomplished through bolting, clamping or other effective mechanical means to provide an effective grounding path to the earth instead of through the user.


Is this how you spell grounding?

The correct spelling is grounding.

The Advantages Of Grounding Module-Sichuan?

The advantages of grounding module Grounding module this product is also commonly known as grounding or grounding network, mainly to help improve the internal conductivity of the grounding conductor to reduce resistivity, the grounding module has good ability and good conductivity, low damage rate and other advantages, is also the "God of protection" of each electricity, the following on the use of grounding module advantages through the following a up to understand the following. Sichuan Sunlight Intelligent Long service life Grounding module using copper clad steel process material made of force is particularly good, long-term buried in the ground will not be a variety of moisture and other elements of corrosion, grounding module metal skeleton used is also processed metal materials, so improve the entire capacity of the service life of up to decades or more. Grounding buried deep Grounding module can be used in a variety of different and underground, and can be buried according to different occasions, in order to meet the low resistance value requirements to a variety of occasions, because the grounding module connection drive way, so can carry out a variety of different connections and use. Strong resistance reduction function Grounding module can be combined with the soil as a whole and can increase the contact area of the grounding body and soil, reduce the contact resistance to improve the efficiency of the grounding module, and grounding module in the use of the process can keep the surrounding soil wetness, grounding module can play a conductive function, reduce the contact resistance resistance resistance value. Wide range of use Grounding module can be used in different soil environment, including different temperature, temperature and PH value or resistivity change conditions of the soil environment, but also suitable for use in a variety of different power, construction, petrochemical, communications and other important industries, so grounding module can be called "omnipotent" grounding conductive materials. Grounding module is resistance reduction supplies. In the grounding ground network resistance can not meet the requirements. With the module and resistance reducing agent to reduce resistance, so that the resistivity of the ground network can be reduced to the ideal value. When the cores of the grounding module are connected in parallel with each other or with the ground, welding is performed. It is required to use the same metal material welding, the sex of the connection. The welding length should be no less than 80mm, and no false welding or leakage. Grounding module processing is very important, first of all, the correct installation of lightning protection grounding module is an important part of the ground network construction, lightning protection grounding module its design at the beginning, has taken into account the ability of the product itself, and the technology into the grounding module products, however, in the lightning protection grounding module installation process, incorrect installation will inevitably produce harm to the product's own materials, thus failing to achieve the use of the effect. In recent years, the gradual adoption of non-metallic grounding module. We are professional grounding module supplier, if you are interested in this, please contact Sichuan Sunlight Intelligent Co.

Classification, basic concepts and installation of grounding devices?

Grounding device is also called grounding integration device: a device that forms an electrical connection between electrical equipment or other objects and the ground. (Building Electrical Construction Technology). The grounding device consists of a grounding electrode (plate), a grounding busbar (indoor and outdoor), a grounding down-conductor (grounding jumper), and a frame grounding. It is used to realize the purpose of connecting the electrical system to the earth. The metal object that is in direct contact with the ground for electrical connection is the ground electrode. It can be an artificial ground electrode or a natural ground electrode. This grounding electrode can be assigned some electrical function, such as being used as system grounding, protective grounding or signal grounding. The grounding busbar is the reference potential point of the electrical installation of the building, through which the part that needs to be grounded in the electrical installation is connected to the grounding electrode. It also serves another function, that is, by interconnecting the equipotential bonding lines in the electrical installation, the overall equipotential bonding between the large conductive parts of a building is realized. The connection line between the grounding electrode and the grounding busbar is called the grounding electrode lead. Safety isolating transformer safety isolating transformer. Transformers that supply tools, other equipment and distribution circuits with safe extra-low voltage. Its input winding and output winding are electrically isolated by at least the equivalent of double insulation or reinforced insulation. Next, an excellent grounding device manufacturer, Sichuan Sunlight intelligent electric equipment Co., Ltd, will introduce the classification of grounding devices, basic concept of grounding device resistance and installation of grounding device. Classification of grounding devices The grounding device is composed of a grounding body (round steel, angle steel, flat steel, steel pipe, etc.) buried in the soil and a grounding wire for connection. According to the purpose of grounding, the grounding of electrical equipment can be divided into: working grounding, lightning protection grounding, protective grounding, and instrument control grounding. Working grounding: It is the grounding required to ensure the normal operation of the power system. For example, the neutral point of the transformer in the neutral point direct grounding system is grounded, and its function is to stabilize the potential of the power grid to the ground, thereby reducing the insulation to the ground. Lightning protection grounding: It is the grounding set for the needs of lightning protection. For example, the grounding of lightning rods (wires) (now called lightning rods, wires, strips) and arresters is to make the lightning current smoothly lead to the ground, so as to reduce the lightning overvoltage, so it is also called overvoltage protection grounding. Protection grounding device: also known as a safety grounding device, it is a grounding device set up for personal safety, that is, the electrical equipment shell (including the cable sheath) must be grounded to prevent the shell from being charged and endangering personal safety. Instrument control grounding device: the thermal control system, data acquisition system, computer monitoring system, transistor or microcomputer type relay protection system, and telecontrol communication system of the power plant, etc., are set up to stabilize the potential and prevent interference. Also known as an electronic system grounding device. The above is the classification of grounding devices. basic concept of grounding device resistance The resistance of the grounding device refers to the resistance encountered when the current passes through the grounding body into the earth and spreads around. The earth has a certain resistivity, and if there is current flowing through it, the earth has different potentials everywhere. After the current is injected into the ground through the grounding body, it spreads around in the form of a current field. 15~20m away), the resistance per unit diffusion distance and the current density in the ground are close to zero, and the potential here is zero. The curve U=f(r) in the figure represents the potential distribution on the ground surface (r represents the distance from the lightning current injection point). The above is the basic concept of grounding device resistance. Installation of grounding device
