A GI (Galvanized Iron) earthing wire, also known as a grounding wire, is a type of electrical conductor used for grounding and earthing purposes in electrical and electronic systems. GI earthing wires are made from galvanized iron or steel, which has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. These wires serve the same fundamental purpose as copper earthing wires but are made from a different material.
1. To control, Radio Frequency (rf) Emissions and Electromagnetic Interference.
2. To provide a stable Potential difference for the accuracy of Instruments.
3. To provide a Safe Discharge path for Short circuits and Lightning Strikes.
4. Grounding helps protect electrical and electronic equipment from voltage and lightning strikes.
5. This is particularly important in sensitive electronic circuits and communication systems.
6. This helps protect people from electric shock hazards.
