Earthing Compound, Brand Name : Ap Associate

Earthing compound, also known as ground enhancing material (GEM), is a specially formulated substance used to improve the efficiency of electrical grounding systems. It is typically a highly conductive blend of materials like graphite and bentonite.

When used to backfill around a grounding electrode (like a copper rod), it significantly lowers the earth's resistance. This reduction creates a more effective path for electrical fault currents, such as those from a lightning strike or a short circuit, to safely dissipate into the ground.
