Question:

It can be used as the steel electrical equipment grounding

It can be used as the steel electrical equipment grounding

Answer:

The steel can be used as grounding of electrical equipment, but because of the steel and the earth contact surface is relatively small, the grounding efficiency is not high, generally do not use. The steel pipe, angle steel and flat steel and other materials, the ratio of the circumference and area, has a larger contact area with the earth, in the same material case, get smaller grounding resistance, or in the same requirements of the grounding resistance, supplies are more economical than small, square steel.
In the electrical grounding body, generally use the steel pipe, angle steel, flat steel, round steel and other steel specially made grounding. The artificial grounding body and the ground wire form a grounding device, so that various earthing of the electrical equipment is connected with the ground through a grounding device. The artificial earthing body has two kinds of vertical embedment and horizontal embedment. The vertical buried pipe, angle steel, round steel grounding body, and have sufficient mechanical strength; ground level buried body with round steel, flat steel, common type, with several ring and radiation type. It is better to use galvanized steel when laying artificial earth in strongly corrosive soil. The steel used in the earth body shall be in accordance with the requirements of thermal stability and uniform pressure.
