Manufacturer of Chemical Earthing & Lightning Protection System

Earthing is essential in any electrical installation to provide safety. The conventional GI pipe earthing system

employing charcoal & salt are provided for various applications as per IS: 3043. Corrosion of metallic parts is

comparatively fast besides maintenance by way of watering of earth pits and chiselling of corrosion prone

parts & their replacement require monitoring which makes earthing a tough job so to make the earthing job

easy maintenance free chemical earthing are introduced which provides long lasting earthing system.

INSTALLTION METHOD

The soil in different parts of the world is different and so BFC

is required to give the earth electrode stable surroundings

for functioning.

The Back Fill Compounds are ground enhancing

compounds which are added (mixed with soil) around the

electrode in the earth pit .Their basic properties help in

reducing soil resistivity and improve electrical conductivity

of the earthing system while retaining moisture.

Benefits of Earthcare Grounding Compound

1. Easily forms a homogeneous mixture with water.

2. High moisture retaining capacity.

3. Requires very less time for settling down and getting in

tune with any kind of soil.

4. No need of mixing salt or charcoal with it.

5. Prevents the electrode from corroding as it forms a

protective covering around the earthing electrode.

It is very important that the Earthing System is installed correctly for the system to work at its full efficiency.

Upon proper installation, the system will give very good (desired resistance value) compare to conventional

system of earthing. It will require no maintenance under normal soil conditions except the normal watering

of pits during hot summer seasons. The standard installation method description is packed with every

electrode manufactured by us.

Note: Since there exist varying types of soil & environment conditions around the world, the best resistance

values of an earthing system vary.

Normal Soil

Caution: Avoid excess watering and don’t hammer the electrode.

· Make a bore of 8” to 10” in dia up to the electrode length of 2/3 meters.

· Fill the bottom 4” of the bore with the supplied BFC (Electrodite).

· Vertically place the electrode in the centre of the pit.

· Fill the cavity around the electrode with the BFC (Electrodite).

· Ensure there are no air gaps in the BFC Filled cavity region.

· Now pour sufficient water into the earth pit until the BFC takes the form of a paste/ mud. Allow

the pit to absorb the water and settle.

· Test the earth pit and make the required connections to the electrical service box.
