Earthing G.I. Strip Solutions - Oriental Star Earthing Solutions

What is Earthing G.I. Strip?

An earthing G.I. strip is a flat galvanized iron conductor used in grounding systems to safely transfer fault current into the ground. These strips are used in power substations, buildings, and industrial units due to their mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and affordability.

Compared to wires, strips of G.I. have a lower likelihood of overheating since they possess a higher surface area.

Key Features of Our G.I. Strips

• Hot-dip galvanized coating with 80-100 micron zinc layer
• Available in multiple sizes: 25x3 mm, 25x6 mm, 40x6 mm, 50x6 mm
• High mechanical strength suitable for underground and exposed installations
• Corrosion-resistant finish suitable for harsh soil conditions
• Conforms to IS: 3043 and IEC grounding norms

Applications of G.I. Earthing Strips

Our G.I. strips are widely used in:

• Electrical panel grounding
• Transformer earthing
• Cable tray and conduit bonding
• Lightning protection systems
• Solar projects and telecom infrastructure
• Industrial and residential building safety systems

Benefits of Using G.I. Strips for Earthing

• Low cost compared to copper conductors
• Good conductivity for large-scale grounding systems
• Easy to install and maintain
• Long service life in most soil types
• Available in custom lengths and finishes

Why Oriental Star?

• Over a decade of manufacturing experience
• State-of-the-art galvanizing and rolling mills

Technical Specifications & Quality Control

We manufacture G.I. strips using low-carbon steel with precise dimensional tolerances. Each batch is hot-dip galvanized for a uniform coating thickness of 80–100 microns. These coatings are tested using Elcometer readings to verify protection levels against corrosion.

We also conduct salt spray tests to ensure long-term resistance in humid and saline environments. Tensile strength and elongation tests are performed to ensure strips meet structural standards for underground installations.

Packaging & Delivery Options

• 50 kg and 100 kg coil bundles
• Straightened and cut-to-length options
• Custom packing with batch number tagging
• Secure palletization for long-distance transport

All packaging complies with safety guidelines to avoid damage during handling and transit. Our logistics team ensures fast PAN India dispatch to project sites, dealers, and distributors.

Common Use Cases in Real Projects

In a large-scale commercial development in Noida, 40x6 mm G.I. strips were deployed as part of the main grounding grid beneath foundation structures. These strips effectively reduced earth resistance and maintained system stability across the complex.

Similarly, at a telecom tower site in Jaipur, G.I. strips were used to interconnect the base grounding system with surge protection devices, ensuring quick dissipation of transient voltages.

Compatibility with Other Grounding Materials

G.I. strips can be used in combination with:

• Copper bonded rods
• Chemical earthing electrodes
• Bentonite backfill compound
• Lightning arresters
• Down conductors and cable trays

This compatibility makes them versatile for new and existing grounding installations.

Customization Options

We can fabricate strips with:

• Hole punching for easier installation
• Edge chamfering to avoid injury during handling
• Anti-rust protective packaging
• Pre-bent or roll-formed strips for trench layouts
