In the recent past, the India has witnessed a paradigm shift in technologies related to grounding. Gone are the days of conventional systems which had a very unpromising product lifecycle. In the last two decades, the new generation earthing system has captured the market. Ignoring bad practices and elements in the market about cheap quality products, this shift is probably the best thing happening to Indian
earthing equipment market ever since its inception. People can now rely on their earthing system with minimal maintenance and overlook.
As the impressive report by Market Research Future indicates - the Indian market for earthing equipment is bound to grow. With the country's pledge for 'Make in India' indigenous production of different kinds of electrical equipment earthing and lighting protection are to be started here soon. The proliferation of new technologies, such as portable electric meters and wireless transmission systems, have also made it possible for power companies to track electricity usage remotely. This reduces the need for manual touch-ups while correcting any mistakes that may arise from inaccurate readings.
The factors such as the increase in demands from various industries and rising use of electric vehicles will automatically increase the demand for electric traction lines and other related products. Also, engineering developments, such as the adoption of technology by consumers to replace conventional earthing systems, have increased the demand for this type of equipment. This is expected to increase further in coming years as the industry continues to develop new materials for use in the construction industry. Some of the benefits of implementing technological advancements in the earthing sector includes:
Optimizing the productivity of companies
Technological progress brings enormous benefits such as maximizing the productivity of companies, the efficiency and quality of their processes, together with the convenience of end users. The overall balance is extremely positive, as it means an unquestionable improvement in the quality of life of the technological society.
On the other hand, technological progress has its counterpart in the increasing dependence on highly complex equipment with very sensitive electrical and electronic components. Degradation of these components may occur if it goes unnoticed by the user, which would eventually
reduce the lifetime of the equipment & increase the possibility of failure. These failures could collapse all connected systems and paralyze the business.
Enhancing the safety & operational-financial efficiency of the assets
The increase in sensitive electronics, as a result of technological progress, implies a greater dependence on the earthing system. In addition, earthing provides information on malfunctions not only of the electrical installation but also of the equipment connected to it. SMART EARTHING MONITORING SYSTEM is the technological solution to optimize the safety and operational-financial efficiency of the assets connected to the earthing system.
Through the use of intelligent sensors placed at certain control points, the SMART EARTHING MONITORING SYSTEM performs centralized monitoring of earthing systems. These enable it to periodically and programmable and assess the installation's condition, ensuring the service's security and continuity.
Maximizing asset lifetime through data-driven predictive maintenance
This intelligent technology makes it possible to manage the electrical installation in the best possible way in terms of financial effectiveness, operational excellence, and risk avoidance. Data-driven predictive maintenance that maximizes asset lifetime is made possible by sensor readings. The device additionally offers instant alerts for corrective maintenance. In this approach, centralized monitoring makes it possible to prevent malfunctions and safety-critical circumstances.
It is well known that improperly maintained earthed plugs increase the possibility of step and contact voltages, which pose a major risk of causing electric shock to individuals. The SMART EARTHING MONITORING SYSTEM examines the status of the assets when they are unattended, while also detecting real-time earth disconnections and sending alarms in the event of theft, deterioration, breakdown, or unintentional breaking. By doing this, the dangers associated with the earthing system's poor performance or condition are reduced.
Additionally, all of the aforementioned results in cost savings because early detection of asset breakdown situations and the logistical simplification of verification processes optimize both preventative and corrective maintenance.
The user-configurable SMART EARTHING MONITORING SYSTEM provides remote updates and can be tailored to the user's needs. The following are only a few examples of its applications:
The determination of the regulatory resistive value of the monitored system, the verification of the conductors and connectors that make up the monitored loop, the verification of the continuity of the earth conductor, the characterization of current flow in interconnected earth systems, the evaluation of leakage currents in industrial systems and processes for the optimization of preventive maintenance of machinery, the assessment of the logistical and operational aspects of periodic regulatory checks.
The Impact of Technological Advancements on the Earthing Equipment Market is expected to be 5.8 billion. In order to improve efficiency of power distribution system, industries install earthing systems, thereby fueling the market growth. Earthing equipment is a fast-growing industry, thanks to technological advancements in the power distribution system. The need for such systems has resulted in higher industrialization, which will further fuel the growth of earthing equipment market.
