method of "ASHLOK" Safe Earthing
Electrode (SEE) |
|
1
|
Augur / Drill / Bore a hole
of 8 - 10 Inch in diameter at a place where
earthing is to be done, to a suitable depth
of 2 - 3 meters (Electrode Length)
|
 |
|
2
|
Place the Earthing Electrode
inside the pit
|
|
3
|
Mix the back fill compound
nicely with the soil, which has been dug
out.
|
|
4
|
Re-Fill the empty space around
the Earthing Electrode with this compound
mix soil.
|
|
5
|
While re-filling the space,
pour adequate water in the PIT intermittently.
|
|
6
|
Pack the soil around the
Electrode tightly and nicely.
|
|
7
|
Again pour adequate water
at least 3 - 4 feet around the earthing
Electrode.
|
|
8
|
Test the earth resistivity
of the Electrode and if the result is satisfactory,
then connect it with the equipments.
|
|
9
|
If the result is not satisfactory,
then allow the Electrode some time (2/3
Weeks) for setting of the soil and then
check it & connect it.
|
|
10
|
If the soil is of high resistivityi.e.
semi rocky or rocky soil, use back - fill
compound only for refilling the PIT.
|
|
|
|
|
| Back
Fill Compound |
|
It is a specially developed
compound which is capable of absorbing and
retaining the moisture for a long time,
it reduces the soil resistivity, to some
extent it helps in faster dissipation of
fault current, least fluctuation of ohmic
value and it eliminates the use of salt,
charcoal etc. around the earthing electrode.
