On the application of hollow conductor as electrical earthing electrode

Earthing is essential for electrical installations to safeguard safety of humans and electrical equipment. Vertically driven solid copper electrode is a widely practiced earthing method due to its simplicity and cost effectiveness. With the rising price of copper, the need for cost optimisation is i...
