GI VS Copper Plate Earthing - Which one is better?⚡

Here’s a deep dive into the crucial elements of grounding electrical systems, where we will be comparing Copper Plate Earthing and Galvanized Iron Pipe Earthing, commonly referred to as GI Earthing.

✅ What You'll Learn in This Video?
Objective of Earthing: Understand the fundamental reasons grounding is an essential component in electrical systems for human safety, equipment protection, and voltage stabilization.
Different Methods of Earthing: We will explore the key techniques used in Plate Earthing and GI Earthing, elucidating how each of them functions to channel electrical discharges safely into the ground.
Key Differences Between Copper Plate and GI Pipe Earthing: We'll go over the primary distinctions, from conductivity to longevity, and explain why you might choose one over the other for your specific applications.

Earthing serves as a safety net for human beings against electrical shocks by directing fault currents away. It's also vital for protecting structures and equipment from voltage spikes caused by phenomena like lightning strikes. Additionally, it provides a common reference point for voltage, simplifying the management of diverse electrical sources.

✅ Plate Earthing: In this approach, plates made of galvanized copper or iron are buried deep into the ground, providing a secure path for electrical discharges.

✅Pipe Earthing: This method employs a galvanized steel pipe that's inserted into the ground, offering another effective means for grounding your electrical systems.
