Step-by-Step: How to Install a Bentonite Clay Earthing System

Image
Ensuring a reliable electrical grounding (earthing) system is critical for protecting both equipment and personnel from electrical faults. While traditional methods often rely on charcoal and salt, modern engineering increasingly favors Bentonite Clay . Bentonite is a natural, moisture-retaining mineral that provides a stable, low-resistance connection to the earth. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of installing a bentonite-based earthing system. Why Choose Bentonite Clay? Before we start the installation, it’s important to understand why bentonite is the preferred choice for high-performance grounding: Hygroscopic Nature: It absorbs moisture from the surrounding soil and retains it, even in dry periods. Non-Corrosive: Unlike salt, bentonite does not attack the earthing electrode, significantly extending the system's lifespan. Zero Maintenance: Once installed, it doesn't need to be "recharged" or watered regularly. Tools and Materials Needed Earth ...
