Grounding is a critical component of every electrical distribution system, essential for ensuring safety and reliability. A well-designed and properly maintained grounding system plays a vital role in reducing the risks of personnel electrocution, electrical fires, and equipment damage. By providing a safe path for electrical currents to dissipate into the earth, it prevents dangerous voltage buildups that could lead to catastrophic failures. Furthermore, an effective grounding system helps minimize downtime caused by electrical faults, ensuring the continuous and safe operation of the electrical infrastructure. In summary, grounding is indispensable for protecting both people and equipment in any electrical setup.https://www.lightningprotection.com/grounding-rod-can-save-your-life/

For a piece of electrical equipment to operate, a
complete path for current flow must exist between
the source of the power and the piece of electrical
equipment.
Electrical equipment such as transformers, motors, switchgear, cable and bus contain energized
and non-energized components. When an energized component comes in contact with a metal
case or structure of a piece of equipment, it is commonly known as ground fault. If a ground fault
occurs, the case or structure will be at system voltage. This is a very dangerous situation. When a
metallic object or person touches the equipment, current will flow through the object or person to
ground. This can severely injure or kill the person and will cause extensive equipment damage. A
properly designed, installed and maintained grounding system can prevent this from occurring.
A system ground is grounding rod(s) bonded together and
connected to the power supply of the system. Chem rod by
LEC is a maintenance free rod which provides consistent,
long-term release of minerals into the surrounding soil,
providing low resistance interface with true earth.
LEC has gained years of experience by solving grounding
problems for various industries. Petrochemical, LNG,
nuclear facilities, data center, process control and many
other industries are benefiting from the superior results
achieved by these CHEM grounding rods.
