Plate Earthing is a method where a plate made of galvanized copper or iron is buried vertically at least 3 meters below ground level. This plate connects all conductors to the earth, providing a path for electrical discharge.
Earthing plate is used for discharging the current quickly into ground. Earthing wire is used for current discharging from equipment to earth pit. Plate earthing is a complete procedure of
1- Earth Pit:
Earth pit is the main part of ground where earth electrode is connected to the distribution earth wire or strip.
2- Earth pipe or Strip:
Earth pipe or strip is connected to the earth plate for current discharging.
3- Earthing Plate:
Earthing plate is used for discharging the current quickly into ground.
4- Earthing wire:
Earthing wire is used for current discharging from equipment to earth pit.
