The editor of graphite based flexible grounding body knows that most people still do not understand how to maintain graphite grounding devices, whether to flip over the soil skin for inspection or replace it directly. Therefore, today the editor of graphite based flexible grounding body will introduce the maintenance methods and inspection items of graphite grounding devices, hoping to help those in need:
1、 After the installation of the grounding module device, the exposed parts of the graphite grounding module device should be visually inspected and measured, including the following aspects:
(1) Check the exposed graphite grounding wire to ensure compliance with safety and wiring requirements.
(2) Check the soil around the grounding body. The soil should be poor and solid.
(3) Measure the grounding grid according to technical requirements. Its value should be within the prescribed allowable range. If the indicators are exceeded, the reasons should be analyzed and measures should be taken to solve them. The standards cannot be arbitrarily lowered.
(4) The editor of the graphite based flexible grounding body reminds everyone to check whether the material of the graphite grounding module device is selected according to the design requirements, and to focus on checking whether the current carrying capacity of the grounding wire is sufficient.
(5) Check if the connections between the grounding body, grounding main line, and grounding branch line have been processed according to the design requirements.
(6) Check each connection point of the graphite grounding module device one by one to see if there are any omissions, misconnections, virtual soldering, or looseness. If any abnormal situations are found, measures should be taken to deal with them.
2、 The editor of the graphite based flexible grounding body reminds everyone to conduct regular inspections. The grounding module device in operation should be checked regularly, including:
(1) Conduct a grounding test every six months or a year, and if an increase in grounding resistance is found, it should be repaired in a timely manner and not forced to be used.
(2) Usually, the connection points of the grounding module device and the support points of the grounding wire should be checked once a year, and any looseness or welding failure should be repaired in a timely manner.
The above is an introduction to the maintenance of graphite grounding devices compiled and published by the editor of graphite based flexible grounding bodies. We hope it can be helpful to everyone in future use.
