Earthing Audit
Earthing Health Assessment
Comprehensive
Solutions in One Place
Aadithya's Earthing System Health Assessment ensures the healthiness of the complete earthing system. The earthing system must be inspected periodically to ensure health and effectiveness. Since the majority of earthing systems are buried underground and inaccessible, they suffer from the "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" syndrome.
Unseen components like Equipment Earth Conductors (Strip), Earth Grids/Mats which are buried or inaccessible tend to be ignored — though they are crucial for safety. As per CEA regulation 41(xv)b, the resistance of the earthing system shall be maintained as low as possible so that fault current flows sufficiently to trip the breaker ON TIME and isolate the faulty circuit.

Why It Matters
Understanding the critical importance of a properly maintained and audited system to ensure ultimate safety and reliability.
Earthing deteriorates over time due to soil corrosion, thermal & electrical stress on joints, galvanic corrosion, and improper workmanship.
Normally only Earth Electrode (Pit) resistance is measured periodically — yet the integrity of the Earth Conductor (Strip) between electrode and equipment is rarely checked.
Timely operation of the breaker depends on the resistance of the full earth loop — not just the electrode.
System modifications and deterioration can render original protection system calculations invalid.
Aadithya's assessment methodology covers all critical parameters to ensure timely breaker operation and prevent accidents.
Carried out on live systems without shutdown using sophisticated meters and proper PPE.
