3. Buried depth and measurement method requirements


The burying depth and burying requirements of the flexible graphite grounding body and the grounding resistance measurement method can be carried out in accordance with the technical methods and requirements of the traditional metal grounding body.




7, matters needing attention


1. The conductive graphite that emits lightning current outside the product is soft and low in strength. It should be protected during transportation and installation to prevent scratches and damage. If damaged, use graphite wire or graphite cloth to wrap it up.


2. When there is a plastic protective film on the outer surface of the grounding body, it should be removed before burying. During the removal process, attention should be paid to the protection of the graphite layer of the grounding body; if the grounding body is equipped with a water-soluble protective film, the grounding resistance should be measured after burying After seven days.


3. The connection head of the stainless alloy connecting wire and the grounding body lock wire must be buried under the soil. It is forbidden to expose the graphite body on the ground.


4. In the salt-alkali ground, salt pond and sea water with heavy chloride ion, the stainless alloy parts in the flexible graphite grounding body structure are all made of 316 stainless steel containing molybdenum.


5. After the product is installed and used, if the grounding resistance value exceeds the standard and fails to meet the design requirements, measures such as extending the radiation line, increasing the size of the grounding body, applying physical resistance reducing agents, and adjusting the soil resistivity until the standard is reached.
