Combining all these factors , today , JEFs carbon based back fill compound
which meets all the criteria stipulated by the Indian & International
standards offers a totally maintenance free solution. The advantages of
carbon based back fill compound are:
Now let us look into the resistance offered by Jef earthing system in place
of above mentioned Plate and pipe electrodes.
Specification of electrode: 17.2mm diameter, 3 meter long, in100 mm
backfill.
Resistance calculated as per Clause 9.5.7: 23.75 Ohm
Improvement comparing to plate electrode: 55 %
Improvement comparing to GI pipe electrode: 21.5 %
Less earth resistance means current density is low in the medium
surrounding the electrode, better heat dissipation, low GPR.
JEFs Earthing system system is truly Maintenance Free since it does not
need the presence of moisture for low resistance.
It is filled in an augured hole around the electrode either in a dry form or in
premixed slurry form.
These backfill compounds come in two different types
1.
A carbon based compound which is in powder form and
remains so.
2.
