Industry endow newer technologies to cater safe earthing requirement

Highlighting the significance of having safe earthing, industry’s experts take us through the products and innovations happening to enhance safe earthing in an electrical system by having ground specific resistance and other latest innovations.

Earthing holds a significant stature towards electricity. Electrical engineering has transformed its entire outlook in the past few decades by delivering quality materials and gadgets that brought ease to human life. So, to be more specific, quality earthing is the key to maintain standardised electrical safety. Otherwise, there are always chances of electrocution in an electrical system, including the appliances, transformers, electrical wiring of a premises.

Demand for improvised earthing accessories
The global earthing equipment market is expected to reach $7,140.2 million by 2025 by growing at a CAGR of 5.8 percent by 2025. We must have more social acceptance to support the sustainability of earthing systems.

Earthing is a key aspect that contains essential electrical wiring since the earth doesn’t carry current itself. The purpose of earthing is to maintain safety whilst cutting down the risks towards the current flow out of the wires. Absence of appropriate earthing can lead to compromised quality of an entire electrical system or any construction site. So, delivering quality products and earthing solutions becomes imperative to ensure safe generation, transmission and distribution of an electrical system.

Noting the same, Sahil Khandwala, Director, Axis Electrical Components (I) Pvt Ltd; feels that more exposure creates more awareness towards tested and certified earthing and lightning protection products. When Axis was started our major focus was the export market, however, in recent years we have seen a drastic increase in demand from local markets for high-quality products. With year on year report of damages caused by lightning we are seeing a steady increase in demand. “Our manufacturing facility is equipped with the latest technology and our experts oversee and plan to ensure the best quality products are delivered while meeting delivery deadlines. We are in plans to open another manufacturing facility in Mumbai soon. We are taking these steps to increase production and provide a holistic solution to our customers,” Sahil adds.

Jai Kumar Belsare, Vice President, Yash Earthing Solutions Pvt. Ltd, talks about the risk assessment solutions being offered by Yash Earthing, along with the risk assessment calculation that reduce hazards, and maintain the safety level in a system. “Our wide range of products helps you to get complete protection under one roof from direct and indirect lightning. We help our customers in conducting soil resistivity survey to determine the electrical resistance of the ground at a specific location.” We also specialise in installation and testing of highly conductive, corrosion-free earthing systems as well as lightning protection systems. Our services extend to private businesses (large and small) as well as government agencies.

Whereas, Priyank Verma, Director, Earthing Solutions takes the pride of in being Bharat’s own integrated Lightning Protection and Grounding Company for last two decades. “Being in this business, we are constantly witnessing an increase in acceptance and demand for our no maintenance grounding system. Currently we are extensively expanding our infrastructure and improving the supply chain to cater the fierce demand and we are confident that this rise will continue to grow in this developing economy.” We constantly upgrade and develop new products at our R&D centre in Jamshedpur. Today we have more than fifty products which we offer to our customers’ pan India in nearly every sector there is. Since our inception, we have adopted non-negotiable premium quality assurance and best in class service for our customers in all domains because we believe in the importance our products play in the safety of our customers and their infrastructure.

Products and solutions for safe earthing
Safety is one of the critical reasons for having safe earthing in any premises. When all the metallic parts of electrical equipment are grounded then the equipment’s insulation fails, we don’t find any dangerous equipment in the voltage. So the purpose of safe earthing is to protect humans from the electrical shock from loose earthing or any diffusion of a fuse. It also aims at protecting the building, machinery, appliances that faulty.

ES is nothing without the elixir of constant movement and development because we believe a stronger and safer grounding system is essential in building a stronger and safer Bharat.

We follow the international standards to design, manufacture and test our products, our entire range is safe to be used across applications.
