Earth Bonding / Earth Continuity Cable upto 11 kV

Earth bonding or earth continuity cable plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and proper functioning of Extra High Voltage (EHV) cable systems, specifically those operating up to 11 kilovolts (KV). This specialized cable is designed to establish a robust connection between various metallic components within the system and the Earth, creating a low-resistance path for fault currents.

In the context of EHV cable systems, where the potential for high voltages is significant, the earth bonding cable serves multiple purposes. It helps to mitigate the risk of electric shock by providing a safe pathway for fault currents to dissipate into the ground. Additionally, it aids in limiting the potential difference between various metallic parts, reducing the chances of electrical insulation breakdown and enhancing overall system reliability.
