Earthing needs differ between a family home and a hospital or a factory. Here is how we approach each type of facility.
Residential properties
Homes and apartments increasingly include solar panels, inverters, batteries, generators and UPS equipment. Each adds metalwork and electrical equipment that should be properly earthed.
Typical earthing considerations
- Inverter, battery and distribution board bonding
- Condition and testing of existing earth pits
- Safe arrangement around wet areas and appliances
Solar installations
Rooftop and ground-mounted solar systems of all sizes need bonding and earthing planned together with the array layout.
Typical earthing considerations
- Frame and structure bonding
- Inverter and DC equipment earthing
- Test points for future testing
Commercial buildings
Offices, shops and plazas have varied loads, shared electrical infrastructure and many occupants.
Typical earthing considerations
- Main earthing and distribution board connections
- Rooftop solar and generator earthing
- Records for building management and maintenance
Manufacturing units
Production sites rely on motors, drives, control panels and process equipment that need dependable earthing.
Typical earthing considerations
- Machinery and panel bonding
- Earthing at transformers and generators
- Periodic testing to track change over time
Warehouses
Large metal structures, racking, loading equipment and distribution boards need to be bonded and earthed.
Typical earthing considerations
- Structure and racking bonding
- Panels and lighting circuits
- Large site layouts with multiple earth electrodes
Hospitals
Hospitals depend on uninterrupted, safe power and often use sensitive equipment. Specific rules apply to medical locations.
Typical earthing considerations
- Inspection and testing of existing earthing
- Coordination with your electrical consultant on requirements
- Careful scheduling to limit disruption
Educational institutions
Schools, colleges and universities have many users, labs, computer rooms and, increasingly, solar systems.
Typical earthing considerations
- Building and rooftop solar earthing
- Laboratory and IT room considerations
- Regular testing as part of maintenance
Telecom and IT facilities
Servers, network gear and telecom equipment need stable, well-bonded earthing to operate reliably and safely.
Typical earthing considerations
- Equipment room and rack bonding
- Inspection and testing of existing electrodes
- Documented readings for operations teams
