Maintenance of above said earthing systems :
These earth enhancing materials require:-
Regular watering,
Re-charging or complete
replacement over a period of time,
Even Bentonite needs regular
watering to maintain its beneficial
characteristics - as per IEEE 80 Std.

Qualities of Marconite :
 Ultra low resistivity : 0.001 Ω m
 When mixed with cement : It is still 0.04 Ω m
 Higher mechanical strength : > M25 Gr concrete
 Chemically inert : ph is in neutral range
 Does not corrode metal conductor
 Conduction of current : Electronic

Benefits of using Marconite :
 Permanent, no water, maintenance or recharge
required for it’s life,
 Consistent performance
 Unaffected by change in environment,
 Does not dissolve, leach or be swept away by
ground water channels.

Benefits of using Marconite :
Environment friendly,
Biodegradable, no environmental hazard even
after it’s complete life,
Life is more than 50 years,
Lowest ownership cost,
Solid structure provides larger surface contact
area.......

Contact surface area:

Contact surface area of marconite

encased earth electrode increases
more effectively than the area of
ground rod.

A 16mm Dia ground rod, encased in

100mm Dia shell of Marconite concrete
has contact surface area of nearly 6.4
times than the area of bare rod.

How does Marconite work :

True conductor & does not need

ions or presence of water to conduct
electricity i.e. Electronic conduction.
Does not suffer from effects of
drying and performs in dry soils.

To whom so ever it may concern

This is to certify that the work for "Installation of Earthing at sub-station Rohit House" was awarded to M/s Inter Tech, B.83, Flatted
Factory Complex. Okhla Industrial Estate, Phase-III, New Delhi-110020. vide work order No.61/EE(MIN)/2013-14 dt.14.03.2014. The above
mentioned work was carried out at II kV ESS at Rohit House, Tolstoy Marg, New Delhi -110001, by M/s Inter Tech, as per the following details:
•Earth enhancing conductive concrete - Marconitc
•Conductor - 16 mm Dia MS rod
•Casting size - Dia 80 mm x length 6000 mm
Subsequently, it's earth resistance were jointly measured thrice during the last two years by using digital earth tester of MEGGER
make and applying fall of potential method.

Earth measurement results :

Electrode First Second Third

1 Transformer Neutral 0.76 Ω 0.71 Ω 0.29 Ω

2 Transformer Neutral 0.72 Ω 0.68 Ω 0.28 Ω
3 Electrical Panel Board 0.88 Ω 0.85 Ω 0.33 Ω
4 Transformer Body 0.77 Ω 0.72 Ω 0.43 Ω
5 Transformer Body 0.68 Ω 0.67 Ω 0.35 Ω
6 Electrical Panel Board 0.99 Ω 0.96 Ω 0.44 Ω

During last two years no inconsistency in performance of these earth electrodes

was noticed and no maintenance or watering, of these pits, was done.
