Perforated Pipe with Funnel
A perforated pipe with a funnel is used in earthing systems to improve the dissipation of fault currents into the ground. It enhances the effectiveness of an earthing system by ensuring better moisture retention and reduced resistance.
Purpose in Earthing:
- Facilitates uniform and deep penetration of water and salt solutions into the soil.
- Enhances conductivity, reducing earth resistance.
- Protects electrical systems by providing a reliable path for fault currents.
- Prevents soil drying around the earthing electrode, maintaining low resistance over time.
Components & Materials:
- Perforated Pipe:
- Material: Galvanized Iron (GI), Copper, or Stainless Steel
- Size: Typically 40mm to 100mm diameter
- Length: Ranges from 1 meter to 3 meters, based on soil conditions
- Perforations: Small holes (5-10 mm) along the pipe for uniform moisture distribution
Maintenance Tips for Solar Earthing System
- Funnel:
- Material: GI, PVC, or Copper
- Function: Directs water and electrolyte solution into the perforated pipe
- Attached at the top of the pipe for easy refilling
Advantages
- Low Resistance: Ensures effective grounding
- Long-Lasting: Perforations help maintain moisture around the electrode
- Easy Maintenance: Water and electrolyte can be easily added via the funnel
- Improves Safety: Prevents electrical faults and voltage surges
