Earthing Products

Earthing Products refer to the practice of connecting electrical equipment and devices to the Earth or a large conducting body, typically through a earthing electrode system. This is done for various reasons, primarily to ensure safety and to protect against electrical hazards.

Earthing electrical products serve the following purposes:

1. Safety: Earthing helps protect users and equipment from electrical shock in the event of a fault or short circuit. When a fault occurs, the excess current is directed to the ground, causing a circuit breaker or fuse to trip, thereby isolating the faulty circuit.
2. Surge Protection: Earthing also provides a path for transient electrical currents, such as lightning strikes or power surges, to dissipate harmlessly into the ground. This helps protect sensitive electronic devices and appliances from damage.
3. Noise Reduction: Earthing can reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) in electrical systems, improving the performance of electronic equipment and minimizing the risk of malfunctions.
4. Static Electricity Dissipation: Earthing helps to discharge static electricity that may accumulate in electrical equipment or during certain processes, preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) events that could damage sensitive components.

Common earthing products manufactured by Conex Metals include:

1. Earthing – Grounding Rods
2. Earthing – Grounding Accessories
3. Cable Terminals and Lugs
4. Galvanized GI Steel Conduit Fittings and
5. Electronic Hardware

It’s important to note that proper installation and maintenance of grounding systems are crucial for their effectiveness in ensuring electrical safety.
