Types of GI Earthing Strip
- Perforated GI Earthing Strip: This type of earthing strip is perforated with holes all along the strip to ensure that it is in maximum contact with the soil or backfill to maximize moisture retention as well as reduce resistance.
- Bolted GI Earthing Strip: It has pre-drilled holes and can have quick, solid, and modular connections by using a nut and bolts; the welding will not be required.
- Welded GI Earthing Strip: This is used to assemble a permanent earthing network which is low resistance, and strong and can be welded together.
- Flexible (Braided) GI Earthing Strip: This is a type of strand that is made up of 2 times of galvanized iron wire, hence suitable in places where vibration is present.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized GI Strip: It is the type that is highly coated with zinc (usually over 70-80 microns) to increase the corrosion resistance that is long-lasting.
- GI Earthing Angles: Special shaped angles applied in structural grounding.
- Solid GI Earthing Strip: This is the commonest earthing strip that is used in standard earthing because of its high mechanical strength and conductive reliability.
