    This document provides a typical earthing arrangement and layout for a weigh bridge. It shows how to connect the weigh cabin and components to an earthing electrode rod buried in an earth pit, which should be at least 3 meters long to achieve an earth resistance of less than 1 ohm. Lightning arrestors should be installed on the weigh cabin and copper or galvanized iron strip can be used, with GI strip requiring double the cross-sectional area. The ground connections must be properly attached and the soil around the earth pit kept moist using a salt and chemical mixture.

    Typical Earthing Arrangement And Typical Earthing Layout For Weigh Bridge

    Typical Earthing Arrangement Typical Earthing Layout

    General Note:-

    1.EARTHING ELECTRODE/ROD LENGHTH SHOULD BE 3 METERS.THE DRAWING IS TYPICAL, PIT LENGTH SHOULD BE AS PER LENGTH OF EARTHING ELECTRODE/ROD.

    2.. EARTHPIT EARTHING RESISTANCE SHOULD BE < 1 Ohms

    3.. PROVIDE SUITABLE LIGHTENING ARRESTOR ON WEIGH CABIN

    4.IF COPPER IS NOT AVAILABLE USE GI STRIP OF DOUBLE THE CROSS SECTION AREA

    5.IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT THAT THE GROUND IS CONNECTED CORRECTLY TO THE COMPONENTS AND THE CABLE JUNCTIONBOX.

    6.WATER SHOULD BE POURED REGULARY IN ORDER TO KEEP THE SOIL MOIST AND CONDUCTIVE.

    7. 1:1MIXTURE OF SALT AND CHEMICAL
