IS:3043 stipulates various types of earthings as per requirement of system ( to interrupt fault current) and safety, like Conventional Salt Charcoal earthings, Pipe earthings, Mesh earthings, strip earthings etc. The Salt charcoal Plate earthings are most used earthings which require digging of a 2.5 feet x 2.5 feet hole minimum 10 feet deep hole in earth. Though Conventional earthings are most used earthings in earlier times, they have disadvantage of corrosion and unstable electrical performance. Conventional sizes in Copper are 600x600x3 mm and 300x300x3 mm. In GI, readily available sizes are 600x600x6 mm and 600x600x3mm.
To connect equipment from ground or earth, suitable size of earthing strips are used. For small size LT size equipment, 25×3 GI strip or copper strip may be sufficient, but to connect equipment with higher fault level, higher size GI or copper strip may be required.
