With
technology reaching a zenith of success, people have been blessed with so many
comforts through machineries and tech savvy products that now, the absence of
any of them can make a large difference to them. In case of the high-end machineries, it is
very important that it’s functioning takes place in a smooth way and this
possible by taking minute care of every machinery, in a delicate manner.
Before
we proceed for the Earthing material it is vital to know why do we need the Earthing strips.
Earthing or Grounding an
object/tower means providing an electrical connection between that object/tower
and mother earth. This electric connection is achieved by running an electrical
wire/strip between the tower and an earth electrode. Earth electrode is a metal
plate/pipe/sphere properly embedded at a depth in the earth.
Therefore, the main objective of
earthing is to provide an alternative path for the fault current to flow so
that it does not endanger the user of damage the equipment.
A
good earthing system should have the following features:
· By blowing fuse it can protect the user from
danger of electrical shock.
·
It should ensure that the conductive parts of the
electrical appliances should not reach an alarming level of potential.
·
For successful dissipation of short circuit
current it must provide a safe conducting path.
·
Preserves the voltage at any part of an electrical
system at a known value to avoid passing of excessive current or voltage on the
appliances or equipment.
And now it comes into the mind of
everyone as to how efficiency as well as the durability of the electrical equipment’s
can be increased by galvanization technique.
Galvanization is considered to be
a coating process among zinc, steel and iron. It alloys with the base metal
surface while having the metal immersed in the molten zinc bath. It is
performed at temperature of about 840 degree Fahrenheit. Furthermore,
galvanized steel is used widely in applications especially where there is
required corrosion resistance without involving stainless steel cost. It is
also considered superior with regards to life-cycle and cost. Crystallization
patterning existing on the surface is what identifies it.
Therefore, like most of the
corrosion protection galvanizing of Earthing Strips
tends to act as barrier between atmosphere and steel. Since steel is vulnerable
to atmosphere, erosion takes place when exposed to air and water.
Here
are few points of efficiency by galvanization:
- ·
Low cost and easily affordable: By zinc coating of
the steel it becomes affordable to large scale business as well for household
goods where the erosion is maintained and also protects the high-end machinery
within affordable budget to get damage.
- · Reliability: Galvanization helps the equipment’s
to be more reliable, ductile and can withstand high voltage.
- · Adaptability: Galvanization provides an
alternative path in the electrical system to minimize the dangerous effect in
the electrical system which happens at the time of lighting and unintentional
contact with high voltage lines.
- ·
Safety: Galvanized high-end machinery has a high
level of safety procedure saving human life from electrical shocks and even
secure the high-end machinery by providing a safe path of lighting and short
circuit.
Earthing system can prevent the
dangerous effects of electricity. And by using galvanized strips, the
efficiency, durability and ductility of the electrical appliances could be
maintained in a neat way.
