A reliable and well-engineered earthing system is a fundamental component of any electrical network. It not only provides a stable reference point for electrical sources during normal operation but also plays a critical role in ensuring safety during fault conditions. A properly designed earthing system protects people, equipment, and infrastructure by safely dissipating fault currents into the ground, reducing the risk of electric shock, equipment damage, and fire.
At Amplitude, we understand that earthing systems can be complex and highly dependent on the specific characteristics of each project. Factors such as system voltage, soil resistivity, fault current levels, and regulatory requirements all influence the design and implementation of an effective earthing solution.
Amplitude’s capabilities are built on a strong foundation of experience across a wide range of projects—from compact high-voltage substations to expansive hydroelectric power stations and complex, interconnected earthing networks.
This breadth of experience enables us to deliver practical, cost-effective, and standards-compliant solutions tailored to your unique needs.
Our team of in-house specialists, supported by trusted industry partners, brings deep expertise and a collaborative approach to every project. Whether you’re developing a new facility or upgrading an existing asset, we work closely with you to ensure your earthing system meets all technical, safety, and regulatory expectations.
