Experimental study between galvanized iron and copper as joining cable in earth system

Earthing system refers to buried electrodes to ground as a path of electrons from electrical appliances to flow back to the earth and bonding system refers to connection or cable joined from transmission tower to building and from building to earthing rods. Copper has been extensively used in both e...
