- AP is a pioneer in manufacturing Safe GI Earth Electrodes.
- Our GI Earth Electrodes provide extended equipment life and ensure human safety.
- They are completely maintenance-free, eliminating any ongoing maintenance costs.
- Filled with a premium crystalline conductive compound, these electrodes deliver superior conductivity to handle leakage currents effectively.
- The AP backfill compound enriches moisture around the electrode, creating an efficient pathway for current flow.
- Backfill compounds are carefully chosen based on soil conditions to maintain a moisture-rich environment around the electrode.
- Hot dip galvanization is applied to protect the electrodes from corrosion and extend their lifespan.
- While GI electrodes are generally prone to corrosion, AP Products hot-dipped GI Earth Electrodes have a uniform galvanized coating that delays corrosion, ensuring a longer service life and making them a cost-effective earthing solution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a GI Earth Electrode?
A GI (Galvanized Iron) Earth Electrode is a grounding rod made of iron with a zinc coating, used to safely dissipate fault or leakage currents into the earth.
Why choose a GI electrode for earthing?
GI electrodes are cost-effective, offer good conductivity, and are resistant to corrosion due to their zinc coating. They are ideal for general earthing applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial setups.
Where are GI earth electrodes used?
They are used in homes, buildings, telecom towers, solar installations, electrical panels, and industrial grounding systems.
What sizes are available for GI electrodes?
Available diameters: 12.7 mm, 25 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm
Length options: 1 mtr, 1.5 mtr, 2 mtr, 3 mtr (custom sizes also available)
What is the coating thickness of the zinc layer?
Typically, our GI electrodes come with 80 microns to 250 microns of zinc coating for long-lasting corrosion resistance.
What is the expected lifespan of a GI earth electrode?
Depending on soil conditions and coating thickness, a GI electrode typically lasts 5 to 10 years.
Is your product tested and certified?
Yes, our GI earth electrodes are manufactured as per IS:3043 and IEC standards and come with lab test certificates.
How is a GI electrode installed?
The electrode is installed vertically in a pit filled with backfill compound (bentonite or a chemical mix) to reduce earth resistance and enhance performance.
Do you provide backfill compounds with the electrode?
Yes, we offer complete GI earthing kits that include the rod, compound, clamp, and connection accessories.
Can GI electrodes be used in high-resistance or dry soil?
Yes, with the appropriate backfill compound, GI electrodes perform well even in high-resistance or dry soil.
How often does a GI earth system need maintenance?
Low maintenance is required. We recommend testing the earth resistance every 6–12 months.
How is the product packaged?
Each rod is individually packed using bubble wrap, packets, or separate packing to avoid any transit damage.
Do you offer installation services?
Yes, we provide full on-site installation and resistance testing services across India.
Can you supply customized sizes or bulk orders?
Absolutely. We cater to custom specifications and bulk supply with flexible packaging and delivery timelines.
What is the country of origin?
Our GI earth electrodes are Made in India, using high-grade iron and industry-standard processes.
