Maintaining a new earthing system is crucial for safety and system reliability. Regular inspections ensure all connections remain tight, corrosion-free, and intact. Test earth resistance periodically using an earth resistance tester to confirm it remains within safe limits—typically below 1 ohm. Ensure earth pits are kept moist, especially in dry seasons, to maintain conductivity. Refill them with salt and charcoal as needed. Check for mechanical damage or tampering, especially in public or exposed areas. Keep detailed maintenance logs and schedule checks annually or semi-annually. Proper maintenance extends the life of the earthing system and ensures continued electrical protection.
