Work Description - Earth Pits, Or Grounding Systems, Are Essential In Pol Locations To Ensure Safety And Operational Efficiency. They Protect Personnel And Equipment From Electrical Shocks And Faults, Manage Voltage Surges, And Pr Static Electricity Build-up, Which Could Lead To Explosions. Earth Pits Also Offer Overvoltage Protection By Dissipating High Voltage From Lightning Strikes And Managing Voltage Surges, Thus Protecting The Facility And Equipment. They Stabilize Voltage Levels By Providing A Stable Reference Point, Minimizing Voltage Fluctuations, And Ensuring The Reliable Operation Of Protective Devices. Due To Heavy Rains, The Washing Away Of Conductive Salts And Compounds Occurs, Which May Lead To The High Resistance Value. During The Periodic Inspection, It Is Found That Resistance Value Of Earth Pit Is Higher Than The Is:3043-2018 Specifications.
