In the event of a fault, the fault current will try to dissipate into the ground through the earth connection. All metals are good conductors of electricity, hence the fault current easily passes through the earthing conductor and the earthing electrode.  The fault current faces  major obstruction only  at the interface of the earthing electrode and surrounding soil.

Researchers from around the world have proved that, if the soil immediately surrounding the electrode is replaced with a conductive material, the resistance of this interface can be considerably reduced.

As seen from the relation, the earth resistance, r, of a given earth electrode is directly proportional to soil resistivity (p). Lower the value of soil resistivity, lower will be the earth resistance of the electrode.

Therefore by using EarthPlus advanced earthing compound as back fill, the value of soil resistivity (p) can be considerably reduced. This in turn will reduce the earth resistance (R) of the electrode. this also reduces the number of electrodes required to achieve a particular earth resistance, thereby making the entire earthing system, efficient, durable and cost effective.
