About GI Earthing Strip
GI (Galvanized Iron) earthing strips are flat steel strips coated with zinc, used for grounding (earthing) in electrical systems. They provide a safe path for fault current to flow into the ground, protecting people and equipment from electric shock. The zinc coating protects the strip from rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor and underground use. GI earthing strips are widely used in buildings, power systems, substations, and industrial installations. They are strong, durable, and ensure long-lasting electrical safety.
