Robust & Reliable: Premium Hot-Dip Galvanized Iron (GI) Earthing Electrode Pipe

Ensure unparalleled electrical safety and superior grounding performance with our high-grade Galvanized Iron (GI) Earthing Electrode Pipes. Engineered for durability, conductivity, and long-term reliability, our GI earthing electrodes provide an essential low-resistance path to dissipate fault currents, lightning strikes, and static charges safely into the earth, protecting personnel and valuable equipment.

Key Features & Specifications

• High-Grade Galvanized Iron (GI) Construction:
  • Manufactured from premium quality mild steel, ensuring excellent structural integrity and mechanical strength.
  • Hot-Dip Galvanized Coating: Each pipe undergoes a rigorous hot-dip galvanization process, applying a robust layer of zinc (typically 80-100 microns thick, adhering to relevant standards like IS 4736 / ASTM A123). This provides exceptional corrosion resistance against soil chemicals and moisture, significantly extending the electrode's lifespan.
• Optimal Electrical Conductivity:
  • GI material offers good electrical conductivity, facilitating the efficient discharge of electrical energy into the ground.
  • The hollow pipe design, when filled with earth enhancing compounds (like Bentonite or charcoal & salt), further reduces earth resistance and improves conductivity.
• Standardized Dimensions:
  • Available in a range of industry-standard diameters (e.g., 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm) and lengths (e.g., 2 meters, 3 meters, 4 meters, 6 meters) to suit diverse installation requirements.
  • Specific wall thicknesses (gauges) ensure structural rigidity and longevity.
• Pre-Drilled Connection Points:
  • Equipped with pre-drilled holes or easily accessible terminals to facilitate secure and low-resistance connection of earth wires, strips, or cables using suitable clamps.
• Robust & Durable Design:
  • Designed to withstand demanding soil conditions and environmental stressors, ensuring consistent performance over decades.
• Compliance with Industry Standards:
  • Manufactured in strict accordance with relevant national and international standards such as IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing), IEEE Std 80 (Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding), and IEC 62305 (Protection Against Lightning), guaranteeing quality and safety.

Installation & Maintenance Notes

For optimal performance, it is recommended to install our GI Earthing Electrode Pipes deep into the ground, ideally in moisture-rich soil. Utilizing backfill compounds like Bentonite clay or a mixture of charcoal and salt around the electrode will significantly reduce earth resistance and maintain stable performance. Regular testing of the earth resistance is advised to ensure continued efficacy of the earthing system.

Invest in superior electrical safety and long-term reliability. Our GI Earthing Electrode Pipes are your trusted choice for robust and effective grounding solutions.
