General Information
The earthing wire is inserted into and held by the steel tip. The extension rods have guiding pins to enter into the previous tube end to form a stable extension of the system. By monitoring the earthing resistance, installer can interrupt the driving down at best point.
An earth electrode is a conductor in the soil with the purpose of discharging electrical current from a connected facility. The use of electricity with bad earthing includes a high risk. All suppliers of power must have approved earth electrodes at their facilities. It means that flash-over voltages, which can appear for different reasons are led into the soil so they do not cause any damages and/ or injuries. Earthing serves as, among other things, person protection, property protections, Electro Magnetic Pulses protection, lightning protection and similar.
The Elpress Deep Earthing concept is a system without extra connection points. The earthing electrode is a copper wire which is pulled down by means of 0.8 m steel tubes (“rods”). A hardened steel tip locks the Cu wire into the leading rod. For each extension rod the wire is pulled a further 0.8 m down alongside the rods. As you can monitor the earthing resistance continuously at the other end of the wire, you can stop the driving down when reaching a satisfactory low resistance. Installer pulls up the top extension rod and reuses is. Drive down normally takes place with Elpress Power Hammer for Deep Earthing with a suitable driving stud or with a sledge hammer and the driving cap FS61 or FS62C.
