Make sure all of your electrical installation is safe with Meteor’s earthing equipment. If there is a fault you could be at risk of an electric shock if you touch a live metal part. Each of our earthing products provide a path (a protective conductor) for a fault current to flow to earth which eliminates the chance of you getting a nasty surprise. We offer a range of copper or galvanised earthing rods to choose from along with many add on accessories such as clamps and inspection boxes. View our earth sleeving which fits over your wires and is colour coded green/yellow to indicate that it contains earth cable. They come in a variety of sizes from 2mm to 6mm so you can find one which best suits your needs. Make sure all your projects are safe with Meteor Electrical’s Earthing range.
If there is a malfunction in your electrical system, touching a live metal element could result in an electric shock. This is due to the possibility that electricity will use your body as a conduit between the living and earth parts.
Earthing is a technique for preventing electric shocks. It accomplishes this by providing a conduit for a fault current to flow to ground (a protective conductor). It also causes the protective device (either a circuit breaker or a fuse) to turn off the power to the circuit with the fault.
The purpose is to make sure all your electrical installation is safe.
What happens if equipment is not earthed?
Metal enclosures can be seen on a variety of electrical appliances, including cookers, washing machines, and refrigerators. If a live wire inside an appliance, such as a cooker, came loose and touched the metal enclosure, you'd suffer an electric shock.
Why is Earthing Important?
Earthing is necessary to ensure the protection of humans from electrical shock. Earthing helps to prevent damage to the equipment caused by high currents and improves the reliability of the electrical system.
