GI Earthing Strip ( HDGI- ES-10)
A GI Earthing Strip is a galvanized iron (GI) strip used as a conductor for earthing and grounding applications in electrical systems.
What it is ?
* A flat metallic strip made of mild steel that is hot-dip galvanized with a zinc coating.
* The galvanization provides strong corrosion resistance, making it durable for underground and outdoor use.
* It acts as a path for fault current to safely dissipate into the ground, protecting electrical equipment and people.
Common Specifications:
✓ Material: Mild Steel (hot-dip galvanized with ~80–100 microns zinc coating).
✓ Standard Sizes (customized as per requirement):
* 25 × 3 mm
* 25 × 6 mm
* 50 × 6 mm
* 75 × 10 mm
✓ Length: Supplied in coils or straight lengths (typically 3 m, 6 m, or customized).
Advantages:
✓ Corrosion-resistant due to galvanization.
✓ High mechanical strength compared to round wires.
✓ Long life in soil and harsh environments.
✓ Cost-effective earthing solution.
✓ Easy to join with welding/bolting.
Applications:
* Used as earthing conductor in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.
* Connects earthing electrodes (GI rods, copper rods, chemical earthing electrodes) with equipment.
* Extensively used in power plants, substations, telecom towers, industrial sheds, railways, and construction projects.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
<b>Q1. What is the lifespan of a GI Earthing Electrode?</b>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>A </span><b>GI Earthing Electrode</b><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> typically lasts 10–15 years or more, depending on soil conditions and installation quality, thanks to its corrosion-resistant galvanised coating.</span>
<b>Q2. Can GI Earthing Electrodes be used in rocky or dry soil?</b>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Yes! Perforated designs and backfilling compounds help maintain low resistance, even in challenging soil conditions.</span>
<b>Q3. Are GI Earthing Electrodes better than copper electrodes?</b>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>While copper offers slightly better conductivity, GI electrodes are far more cost-effective and still deliver excellent performance, making them suitable for most applications.</span>
