Figure: Trailing earth for non-conductive or poorly conductive soil
All insulated cables (e.g. the supplied earthing cable) are quite unsuitable as
trailing earths. This applies even if an iron chain or large nut is attached to the
end.
3.1.3 Special forms of earthing
If, due to the confines of the process, earthing as described in section 3.1.1
and 3.1.2 is not possible, it is possible to use a capacitive earth. Since in such
cases, conditions specific to the particular application have to be taken into
consideration, please contact
ELMED
beforehand in order to enable us to
recommend a solution tailored to your particular application.
