Most households nowadays are wired in such a way that the grounding system forms an integral part of the electrical framework. A green-colored wire takes the errant electrical charges from the circuits and deposits them in the ground. This ground wire runs throughout the electrical setup of your home.
Earlier the grounding systems used to rely heavily on the main power station from where the electricity is received. Now the grounding systems are more suitably established either in the locality or within the house setup.
The grounding system allows the errant electrical charges to be discharged safely into the ground. Hence potential electrical hazards are prevented owing to the dissipation of excess voltage.
Though most of the modern electrical setups are provided with efficient grounding systems, individual grounding systems need to be installed for certain electronic devices such as high-frequency welders, radio frequency apparatus etc. Such a grounding system handles the static electrical charges and fluctuations of the devices and protect us from hazardous situations.
The list would include a copper ground rod, a hammer, anti-corrosion compound, screwdrivers, wire pliers, solid copper wire of number 8 and a rod-to-wire connector.
Kick off the campaign by planting the copper rod in the ground. Make sure that the rod is installed outside the home and close to the grounding system. Grab a hammer and force the rod into the ground in such a way that a portion of the rod lies above the ground. This would help the rod to connect to the copper wires that lead to the concerned electronic or electrical device. Clean off the head of the rod with a rug and apply a good amount of an anti-corrosion compound on it. This would help in building a genuine conductor path for years to come. Screw the ends of a connector to the rod and tighten it well.
Once the connector is in place, attach a solid copper wire to it. Take the other end of the wire to the access point of the concerned electronic or electrical device and wire it to the grounding system. In addition, place a copper plate on the setup to render final finish to the system.
Keep the supervision of an expert in tact throughout the length of the project and derive useful suggestions from him whenever needed.
