Earthing G.I. Wire Solutions – Oriental Star Earthing Solutions

What is Earthing G.I. Wire?

G.I. wires serve as a hot-dip galvanized iron conductor in earthing systems designed to connect an electrical installation and earthing electrode safely. It works to dissipate fault current. In areas sensitive to corrosion, G.I. wires offer reliability at a low cost.

These wires meet national and international standards and come in different lengths and gauges, catering to distinct earthing requirements.

Key Features of Our G.I. Wires

• Hot-dip galvanized coating for superior corrosion resistance
• Available in 8 SWG to 14 SWG as per project specifications
• High tensile strength to withstand mechanical stress
• Uniform zinc coating for longer life in aggressive soil
• Compliant with IS 3043 and IEC grounding norms

Benefits of Using G.I. Wire for Earthing

• Cost-effective and easy to install
• Resistant to rust and oxidation
• Long service life even in moisture-prone soil
• Compatible with plate, pipe, and rod earthing systems
• Suitable for both new and retrofit grounding setups

Applications of Earthing G.I. Wire

Our galvanized earthing wires are used in:

• Building construction grounding
• Electrical panel earthing
• Transformer and substation installations
• Communication towers
• Residential and commercial complexes
• Infrastructure projects and rural electrification

Supply Regions

We supply our G.I. wires to clients across: Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Bhiwadi, Rohtak, Panipat, Alwar, Sonipat, Mathura, Haridwar, Meerut, Manesar, Neemrana, Bahadurgarh, Agra, Greater Noida, Karnal, Jhajjar, Dadri, Bawal

Installation Tips

• Always select wire gauge based on system load and soil condition
• Ensure tight connections with clamps or welded joints
• Avoid sharp bends and ensure mechanical protection in exposed areas
• Perform periodic inspection for continuity and corrosion

Extended Technical Details

Our G.I. wires undergo manufacturing processes which include hot-dip galvanization with a uniform zinc coating of 80-100 microns. As such, robust resistance to corrosion is provided in regions with high soil moisture or salinity.

We also offer zinc coating options as per project-specific IS or IEC requirements. For critical installations, the wires undergo tensile and elongation testing to ensure reliability under physical stress.

Packaging Options

Oriental Star offers flexible packaging options:

• 50 kg coils (standard)
• 100 kg jumbo coils
• Bundled packaging with strapped finish
• Palletized delivery for export requirements

We also label all coils with batch numbers and test results for full traceability and quality assurance.

Use Cases from Field Installations

In a large-scale metro rail project in Delhi NCR, our 10 SWG G.I. wires were used for earthing of overhead traction systems. Despite heavy foot traffic and variable soil quality, the grounding resistance remained within safe limits over a year of monitoring.

In rural electrification efforts in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, our wires have been successfully deployed in villages lacking conventional infrastructure. Their durability and low maintenance needs have made them the preferred choice for local contractors.

Earthing System Compatibility

Our G.I. wires are compatible with:

• Pipe Earthing Systems
• Plate Earthing Systems
• Maintenance-Free Earthing
• Lightning Protection Down Conductors
• Grounding Grids and Neutral Earthing

The wires can also be combined with chemical compounds like bentonite or conductive concrete for better contact and stable resistance in high-resistivity areas.

Quality Control

Every lot of G.I. wire is subjected to the following checks:

• Zinc Coating Thickness
• Diameter and SWG verification
• Salt spray corrosion resistance testing
• Visual inspection for continuity and surface defects
• We issue test certificates on request, along with technical datasheets.

FAQs

Q1. What gauges are available?

We offer G.I. wires ranging from 8 SWG to 14 SWG depending on application requirements.

Q2. Is the wire tested for corrosion resistance?

Yes. All wires undergo galvanization checks and salt spray testing.

Q3. Can G.I. wire be used in chemical or saline soil?

It’s recommended to use copper in extremely corrosive soil, but our thick zinc-coated G.I. wire performs well in most Indian soil types.

Q4. Do you provide coil packaging?

Yes. Standard coils are 50kg or 100kg rolls, but custom packaging is available.

Q5. Is the wire IS-compliant?

Absolutely. All wires conform to IS: 3043 specifications for earthing.
