Polished 100-200gm Aluminium Arsh Safe Earthing Electrode, Length : 0-250mm, 250-500mm

Arsh Safe Earthing Electrode is designed as per the most demanding of characteristics found in a great earthing system. Manufactured as per the IS 3043: 1987, the Arsh Safe Earthing Electrode is known for its hassle-free performance and ease-of-installation. Whether it is a data center, lightening protection system, electrical machinery or telecommunication center, the Arsh Safe Earthing Electrode is used in all.
Construction : The Pipe-in-Pipe with strip Technology concept involves two 'B' class mild steel pipes one inserted inside the other. Both the pipes are subjected to hot dip galvanization: 80 - 100 micron on the outer electrode and 80 - 100 microns inside the electrodes. The empty space inside the electrodes is tightly filled with a specially developed Crystalline Conductive Mixture and then sealed. For uniform distribution of fault current an earthing electrode must be cylindrical in shape. The surface being circular the distance from the centre to any point is always equal. This facilitates uniform distribution of fault current from electrode to earth.
Advantages
ARSH Safe Earthing Electrode uses advanced engineering to achieve a consistent, low-impedance, electrical connection with the earth, even in unfavorable and varying ground conditions (like permafrost).

• Large surface area : The wider 25/8 inch diameter provides a larger surface area for a better connection to the earth.
• Electrolytic salts : In the presence of moisture, these salts dissolve and seep out of leach holes along the electrode. The salts continually increase the soilâ��s conductivity, further reducing impedance and resistance.
• Soil augmentation : ERIC Compound is a combination of organic soil materials which optimize the conductivity of the soil around the Earthing Electrode. Increasing the amount of ERIC Compound decrease the overall system resistance, increasing the system efficiency.
• Maintenance-Free : This is maintenance free Earthing., no need of extra water pouring at regular interval as in conventional Earthing, because it retains the moisture.
• Consistency : Continuously maintains the same (approx) earth resistance value over time regardless of soil and climate conditions. Unlike a standard copper plate/rod, the stability of the Safe Earthing Electrode will remain constant over the life span of the plate/rod, and the resistance of the electrode is less affected by adverse climatic conditions. Adequate galvanization, Highly conductive, No corrosion, eco-friendly and a long and reliable life (Fit and Forget)
• Easy Installation : Can be installed indoors or outdoors and in almost all soil condition. For existing or new facilities, requires less space and time.
• Cost effective & easy to install

Installation Normal soil

• Augur / Drill / Bore a hole of 8 - 10 inches in diameter to a suitable depth of 2
• 3 meters (Electrode length)
• Mix Eric compound nicely with dug out soil.
• Throw handful of compound soil mix into pit.
• Remove plastic sleeve carefully from electrode.
• Place naked electrode at center of pit.
• Start refilling empty space around electrode with backfill compound in small quantities.
• Then pour some water and poke the pit with a long wooden rod, to allow trapped air to escape.
• In this manner gradually continue refilling process till electrode is buried in the pit, up to the green patch painted on the top portion of electrode.
• Ensure that pit is not watery.
• Pack electrode with compound nicely and tightly, so that it stands firmly in pit
• Pour a few buckets of water around pit.
• Test earth resistivity of electrode. If result is satisfactory, connect it with equipment.
• If result is not satisfactory, give some time for electrode system to set in soil.
• Then check ohmic value and connect with equipment.
• In hard soil conditions, do not mix compound with dug out soil, and follow above procedure.
• If auguring is not possible up to 3 meters inform customer/dealer.
• Pour a few buckets of water around the pit everyday for 10 - 15 days for system to set.

Important

• Do not Drop Earthing electrode in pit.
• Do not use force to drive electrode into pit
• Do not hammer or cut electrode while installing.
• Remove the transparent plastic cover before installation.
• Ensure that electrode terminal and green color patch are above the soil.
• Apply petroleum jelly on terminal and terminal hole.
• Ensure that the entire length of electrode always remains buried in soil.
• During peak summer months pour a few buckets of water in and around electrode for a few days. If you are in doubt, contact our dealer.
• If soil in pit sinks, fill it with good soil

Sandy & Rocky Areas
Dig a trench of 6' x 6' and 11' deep; fill the entire pit with black cotton soil or normal soil, pour enough water so that pit is full with water, leave it for three days so that soil soaks up the water. You will notice that soil level has gone down and again top up the pit with soil & fill the water. Now after two or three days this pit is sturdy and ready for Earthing purpose. Our Earthing electrode can be installed as per installation method for normal soil given above.
Rocky/Semi-Rocky Soil
If enough soil is there then Earthing can be done by normal method as above, otherwise follow the method as in case of sandy soil.
Once installed properly Remedies Brand ARSH Safe Earthing Electrode gives much better earth resistance value than conventional Earthing systems over a period of time. However, it is important to recognize the fact that characteristics of soil play a major role in determining the earth resistance value, and as per Indian/British Standards, in high resistive soil it requires more than one earth electrode installed and connected in parallel to bring down the earth resistance value within safe limits.
