Many industrial sites in Pakistan suffer from earthing issues because of small mistakes. Here are some you should avoid:
- Using poor-quality rods or wires. Always use GI or copper with proper thickness.
- Skipping moisture tests. Dry soil makes earthing weak. Use a chemical compound if needed.
- Loose connections. Always tighten nuts, bolts, and clamps.
- No maintenance checks. Rods can rust, and cables can wear out. Inspect at least once a year.
In Karachi, weather and dust affect earthing performance. So, use weather-resistant materials and install a proper earthing pit cover.
Avoiding these mistakes helps your system last longer and keeps your workers and machines safe.
