Earthing is essential for electrical safety, protecting people and equipment from fault currents and lightning strikes. To begin, choose a location with good soil conductivity, avoiding rocky or dry areas where possible. Dig a pit about 2-3 meters deep (or as required by soil conditions) and place an earth electrodeu2014such as a copper-bonded rod, galvanized pipe, or copper plateu2014vertically in the ground. To improve conductivity, surround the electrode with a low-resistance earthing compound like Electrafill Plus or Excel Earthing Compound, which helps retain moisture and reduces soil resistivity

Excel Earthings: Advanced Electrical Earthing and Lightning Protection Solutions Excel Earthings is a leading provider of high-quality electrical earthing and lightning protection products. With a strong focus on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, we offer a wide range of solutions designed to meet the specific needs of our clients. Our products are crafted using advanced technology and the highest-grade materials to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and optimal performance. Below are the details of our diverse product offerings: Copper Bonded Rods Our Copper Bonded Rods are made using 99.95% pure Electrolytic Grade Copper molecularly bonded to a nickel-sealed low carbon steel core. This construction ensures high tensile strength and excellent durability. The nickel sealing provides superior adhesion, and the copper coating is designed not to crack when bent or driven. The standard copper coating thickness is 250/100 microns. Customised Copper Bonded Rods are available based on customer requirements. These deep-driven rods are ideal for areas where the soil resistivity decreases with depth, ensuring stable electrode resistance even in dry conditions. Copper Bonded Plates Our Copper Bonded Plates combine the advantages of nickel-sealed low carbon steel and copper to offer a corrosion-resistant solution for earthing applications. The 99.9% pure electrolytic grade copper provides excellent conductivity and durability. The copper coating is bonded to superior quality nickel-sealed cold-rolled steel, offering a cost-effective alternative to pure copper plates. Customised plates can be produced as per customer requirements. Copper Bonded Pipe Copper Bonded Pipes are perfect for highly corrosive soil environments where copper or hot-dip galvanized pipes may not be suitable due to cost or corrosion issues. These pipes are filled and sealed with anti-corrosive moisture-absorbing minerals to prevent inside-out corrosion. Our Copper Bonded Pipes provide long-lasting and efficient earthing solutions under challenging conditions. Hot Dip Galvanized Filled Pipes Our Hot Dip Galvanized Filled Pipes are specialized for earthing applications, with a minimum zinc coating of 70-80 microns. These pipes are filled with anti-corrosive moisture-absorbing minerals to prevent inside-out corrosion. Unlike normal GI pipes, which are intended for structural and sanitary applications, our galvanized pipes are designed specifically for efficient and durable earthing systems. Hot Dip Galvanized Steel Plates
Manufactured according to IS 3043:2018, our Hot Dip Galvanized Steel Plates are coated with a layer of zinc (70-80 microns) to offer protection against corrosion, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance in earthing applications. Excel Conductive Concrete Excel Conductive Concrete is made from high-grade electronically conductive carbon granules mixed with cement and water to form a stable, low-resistive solution for electrical earthing. This concrete helps protect earth electrodes from corrosion and extends the lifespan of the entire earthing system, making it a permanent solution for stable conductivity. Electrafill Plus Electrafill Plus is a carbon-based earth-enhancing compound that uses non-corrosive moisture-retaining minerals to improve earthing efficiency. It's particularly effective in areas with high seasonal variations and low moisture content, improving the overall performance of earthing systems in challenging environments. Electrafill (Carbon Based) Earth Enhancing Compound This conductive material enhances earthing effectiveness, particularly in areas with poor conductivity such as rocky ground or areas with moisture variation. Electrafill improves the ion absorption capacity of the soil, making the earthing system more efficient by increasing its charge-carrying ability. Excel Earthing Compound Our Excel Earthing Compound is a mineral mixture that reduces soil resistivity by absorbing and retaining moisture for longer periods. This compound helps maintain constant soil resistance, minimizes seasonal variations, and enhances the conductivity of the earth electrode, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Nickel Sealed Copper Bonded Strips Nickel Sealed Copper Bonded Strips are designed for electrical earthing and lightning protection applications. These strips, which include earthing conductors, lightning down conductors, and lightning mesh formations, provide a cost-effective alternative to pure copper. They are available in standard coating thicknesses of 100/250 microns. Earth Bench/Terminal Strip The Earth Bench or Terminal Strip serves as a common earthing point for electrical installations and lightning protection systems. It functions as an equipotential bonding bar, helping equalize
potential differences between conductive parts. These strips are made of copper or stainless steel and come with nylon-insulated strip holders for enhanced insulation. Earth Pit/Inspection Chambers Excel Earthings offers ready-made earth pit chambers made of high-density, UV-resistant polypropylene/polyvinyl chloride, designed to safely enclose the earthing system. These chambers provide easy access for maintenance, inspection, and testing, and are designed to minimize the effects of aging or cracking when installed in the soil. Vertical Air Terminal Rods Also known as Franklin Rods, these rods are designed to protect structures and equipment from direct lightning strikes. Made from copper-bonded or stainless steel solid rods, they comply with IS/IEC 62305-3 standards and include pressed terminals for better contact with down conductors. Nylon-insulated bases provide proper insulation and separation from the supporting structure. Lightning Protection Conductors Our Lightning Protection Conductors are made from electrical-grade aluminum alloy with a cross-sectional area of 50 sq. mm, complying with IS/IEC 62305-3 and IEC 62561-2 standards. These conductors efficiently conduct lightning currents between air termination and earth termination systems. Insulated down conductors are also available to minimize touch voltage risk and ensure safety. At Excel Earthings, we are committed to providing high-quality, reliable, and efficient earthing and lightning protection solutions. Our products are designed to meet industry standards such as IS 3043:2018 and IEC 62561-2, ensuring safety, durability, and long-term performance. We also offer customised solutions tailored to the specific needs of our customers. For more information or to discuss your requirements, please contact us today!
