CIKIT’s Earthing Products - Overview
From the skies to the earth- This is how a lightning bolt travels.
A well-designed earthing or grounding system serves multiple purposes. It ensures an efficient release of electrical energy, minimises an increase in ground potential during lightning surges, and provides a low-impedance path for the fault to reach the source. It also protects the surrounding environment’s electromagnetic field and serves as a referral point to the lightning protection system.
Earth Electrodes are the most important part of the earthing system. The primary function is to safely dissipate the fault currents to the ground without damage. IS3043 suggests the following configurations of Earth electrodes.
CIKIT Electricals & Technologies India Pvt Ltd is a seasoned earthing electrode manufacturer and supplier offering a wide range of lightning protection equipment for innumerable buildings in India. Our earthing electrodes effectively replace traditional systems, thanks to our advanced earth-enhancing compounds and terminal connectors.
With years of dedicated research and a wealth of experience spanning decades, we have successfully pioneered groundbreaking, budget-friendly, and eco-conscious solutions to fulfil all your earthing needs. Our range of earthing products includes earthing electrodes, copper-bonded rods, pipe-in-pipe earth electrodes, earth pits, and earth-enhancing compounds. We thoroughly research the local conditions before designing our earthing systems to ensure they work optimally after installation.

Know More About Earthing Electrodes
1. What are the major components of the earthing systems?
An effective earthing system has these three components:
- Earth-enhancing compounds
- Terminal connectors
- Earth electrodes
2. What are the main factors considered when manufacturing electrodes?
Being a major earthing electrode manufacturer, we take into account the following aspects:
- Metal electrode resistance
- Range of contact resistance between the soil and electrodes
- Resistance of the soil from the earth electrode surface for dissipating current outward to infinite earth.
3. What is the earthing procedure?
During the earthing procedure, ground contacts are made with the equipment’s non-current carrying part.
4. Are your earthing products safe?
Yes, they are absolutely safe. Our grounding sheets are designed to prevent the risk of electric shocks by connecting to the ground port of an electrical outlet and not to the actual electricity.
5. What are the characteristics of pipe in pipe earth electrodes?
Our Class B type pipe in pipe earth electrodes have:
- Greater wall thickness
- High current carrying capacity
- Greater durability
- Good mechanical strength
6. I am planning to invest in earth-enhancing compounds. What criteria should I consider during purchase?
Since the materials are directly exposed to the environment, the impact of these materials is very high and may pollute the land and groundwater. Hence, special care should be taken in selecting the materials for Earth Enhancing Compounds. The materials should:
- Have low resistivity
- Be chemically inert to the subsoil.
- Not pollute the environment
- Provide a stable environment for the earthing system
- Not be corrosive to the earth electrodes being used.
- Be hygroscopic.
- Be able to maintain moisture to enhance conductivity.
7. What earth-enhancing compounds are used by CIKIT?
CARBOLITE
CARBOLITE is best suited for earth-enhancing compounds for normal and moderate soil conditions. It contains various natural minerals which are anti-corrosive and highly conductive mixed together and made into powdery form to be used around the earth electrode to increase the efficiency of the earthing system.
CARBOTITE
CARBOTITE is an earth-enhancing compound made especially for high-resistive soil conditions. It contains 70% carbon to reduce resistivity around the electrode to a minimum.
