Maintenance of a new earthing system is crucial to ensure electrical safety and system performance. Regular inspections should be conducted to check for corrosion, loose connections, and soil moisture levels. Earth resistance testing, ideally done annually, helps verify the effectiveness of the grounding. Connections must be kept clean and tight, and any damaged parts replaced immediately. Surrounding soil should be free from obstructions and remain moist to maintain low resistance. Recordkeeping of test results and maintenance activities supports long-term reliability. Proper maintenance ensures the earthing system continues to protect people and equipment from electrical faults and lightning strikes effectively.
