Earthing Strip

An earthing strip is a conductive metal strip—commonly made of galvanized iron (GI), copper, or stainless steel—used in electrical systems to safely channel fault currents into the ground, thereby preventing electric shocks and equipment damage. Typically installed horizontally in trenches at a minimum depth of 0.5 meters, these strips are essential for grounding electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The choice of material depends on factors like soil conditions, corrosion resistance, and budget considerations. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure their effectiveness and longevity.
