Ionic Breathing Technology IBT

The IBT or the Ionic Breathing Technology has been developed to meet the need so earthing in harsher environments. The design of the system has added a dynamic element in the functioning of the electrode.

The terminal end incorporates perforations which is complemented by similar perforations at the bottom end. The cavity in-between the electrodes is filled with IonFill which contains hygroscopic elements. These elements capture the moisture from the surrounding environment and 'inhale' it from the terminal end.This moisture mixes with the IonFill forming a concentrated aqueous solution which is electrically conductive and steadily Dlows down due to gravity,'exhaling' out through the bottom end.Once exhaled, it flows through the soil and forms conductive roots around the electrode increasing the effective surface area.

Pipe In Pipe Technology PiP

Pioneered by ASHLOK in 1999 ,the Pipe In Pipe design incorporates the use of two pipes of co-axial diameters joined together for enhancing the service life and performance of the over all earthing system. The cavity in-between the electrodes is filled with crystalline conductive compounds IonFill or CompactFill for current dissipation and anti corrosive properties.

The electrode cross section has to be circular for the uniform distribution of fault current all around from electrode to earth.

Ashlok Designed Production Process ADP

Since earthing systems face different kinds of soil, climatic & electrical environments around the world, it is extremely important that they are manufactured with extreme care, precision and quality.

Defects like varying coating levels on the electrode surface can hamper service life. Improper ratios of CCC components can lead to varying resistance results.

At ASHLOK, we took up the challenge to design our own production processes for the different metallic coatings, internal cavity compound Dillings and packaging.

Today, we have our own production systems in place to constantly meet 'A' grade quality norms we have set for ourselves.

This is helping us to serve you better - everyday.

Crystalline Conductive Compounds CCC

CompactFillCOMPACT

The volume between the inner and outer pipes of the electrode is occupied by CompactFill, a compound formula developed by ASHLOK which aids in increasing the electrical conductivity, service life and current with-stand capacity of the earthing electrode. It constitutes elements picked up from nature and is anti corrosive too.

IonFillION

This is the latest compound formula developed by ASHLOK for the IC99 range of earthing electrodes. The internal cavity of the electrode is occupied by IonFill which constitutes elements which aid in the breathing action of the electrode. They form an integral part of the functioning of the electrode as they trap moisture from the surroundings and enhance electrical conductivity. Through the breathing action of the electrode, they form conductive roots all around the earthing system.

CompactFill & IonFill play a crucial roll in the functioning health of the electrode and it is very critical that they are produced in exact proportions and filled with scientific care. A small void in the internal cavity of the electrode can cause Dluctuations in results.
For that reason, all the electrodes undergo an ASHLOK designed precision process for the deposition of CompactFill/ IonFill into the internal cavity keeping in tune with our quality policy.

Electrodite

It houses all the properties that an ideal BFC should have constituting natural elements, it reduces soil resistivity, helps retain moisture and is an efficient soldier in the dissipation of fault current. It is hygroscopic in nature and swells when it comes in contact with water thereby engaging constant contact between the electrode surface and soil which is crucial in the performance of an Earthing system. Best for normal soil conditions.

Humedite

Moisture plays a very important role in the Earthing system because the dissipation of fault current depends considerably on the capillary and electro-osmotic action of soil.

Specifically developed for relatively dry conditions, Humedite captures moisture from the surrounding environment and retains it for long periods of time. It has an electrical resistivity of approximately 0.5 ohm- meter which gives minimal resistance to the dissipation of current. When mixed with water, it forms a semi permeable conductive gel around the electrode and is far less susceptible to shrinkage.

Conductolite

The electrical conductivity is one factor which decides how fast the fault current gets dissipated into the soil. The soil resistivity is a factor that works against the dissipation of current.

Conductolite has been designed to function in soil environments where electrical conductivity is low. It helps to improve the conductivity of the soil to aid in faster current dissipation while at the same time having hygroscopic and anti corrosive properties.

TerraIon

The latest addition to earth specific range of BFC(s), TerraIon is an electrolyte based Back Fill Compound which is powered by neutralizing and diffusing agents.

The formula has been designed keeping in mind the harsh conditions faced by Earthing systems around the world.

It helps in reducing the soil resistivity and normalizing the soil conditions. It forms a bulk aqueous solution on addition of water and creates conductive roots in the immediate environment of the Earthing system.

When the electrical potential between two clouds or between a cloud and earth reaches a sufficiently high value the air becomes ionized along a narrow path and a lightning flash results which can extend upto multiple kilometers.

Buildings are protected from lightning by metallic lightning arrestors or surge arrestors extending to the ground from a point above the highest part of the roof. The arrestor has pointed edges on one side and the other side is connected to a long thick copper strip/wire (down conductor) which runs down the building and connects to the Earthing system.

In the event of lightning falling on the building, the lightning arrestor directs the charge through down conductor and into the earth through the Earthing system, safely.

Ashlok's R&D team after decades of market study and lightning research has conceptualised, developed & designed a new breed of Lightning Protection Rod's. Its designed to emits an upward leader of greater length which allows the downward leader to connect and have an instantaneous and safe path of dissipation coupled with Ashlok's range of Safe Earthing Electrodes.
