Earthing is one of the most crucial parts of the electrical connections of domestic and commercial setups. It is also called a grounding system. A proper grounding or earthing system ensures the safety of the operators. This is where an Earth Rod is used to prepare a grounding system that ensures the performance and safety of the operators. Any leakage in electrical flow due to faults will be relayed to the ground without harming the users. How safety and performance are ensured? The resistance of the Earth Rod matters a lot in making grounding connections. The equipment should be of top quality. The earthing system is built according to the electrical units and equipment used for commercial purposes. Buyers often customize the requirement based on the electrical systems they want to integrate these grounding units with. Let us check how safety is assured along with performance. 1.       Avoid looping Improper resistance can cause looping in the system. It can cau...

Earthing is a very important part of domestic and commercial electrical systems. This grounding system is done generally with copper as this element is more resistant to corrosion due to environmental reasons. The level of conductance in copper is also very high than conventional alloys and metals used commercially. This is why a majority of the users choose a copper plate earthing system. Advantages of a copper plate earthing system 1.       Avoid lightning damages Electrical systems and equipment used in the commercial processes should be protected from lightning strikes. It can be done using a copper grounding system installed and connected with the electrical equipment used on a commercial platform. The high-voltage current from lightning and electrical faults can be passed to the ground using this copper plate earthing system. 2.       Safety of the users The users handling the electrical systems will also be safe and secure from the electri...

Wire lugs or terminators are used to end a wire and to make a proper connection. The material of the lugs depends on the current rating and the type of connection to be made. The two most common lug materials used are copper and aluminum. There are certain factors that need to be verified to understand the specific requirement and understand the difference between copper and aluminum lugs! Factors to differentiate 1.       Connection tensile strength The tensile strength depends on the weight of the wire and the way a connection is made. The tensile strength will determine the malleability of the lug material. The wires should be well-connected to the terminal of an electrical junction. The use of copper and aluminum is determined by the strength of the connectors required. 2.       Voltage It is obvious that electricity passing through a conductor will produce heat. The heat can increase considerably depending on the voltage r...

Electrical junctions are completed by using cable glands for electrical, automation, instrumentation, and control systems for different industries. These glands make the electrical junctions robust and avoid loose connections. A cable gland is used for protecting the junctions from the weather as well as internal industrial conditions. There are two types of glands, BW and CW glands developed by the manufacturers to meet certain industrial requirements. Difference between CW and BW glands BW glands or brass glands are used for steel wire junctions. These glands are designed for armored cables for proper clamping for proper electrical continuation in the system. In fact, the mechanical retention of the cables is also taken care of. BW cable glands are used for indoor applications. Indoor electrical junctions do not require waterproofing. This is why BW glands are used in indoor systems. CW glands are almost the same but have the features to retain electrical continuation in outdoo...
