Comparison of Jef Ecosafe Vs Conventional Grounding

Jef Techno Solutions Pvt Limited has developed an eco-friendly grounding system called Jef Ecosafe that provides several advantages over conventional grounding systems. The Jef Ecosafe system uses a molecularly bonded copper steel electrode and a carbonaceous backfill compound that is environmentally safe. In contrast, conventional systems use galvanized steel pipes and a mixture of salt and charcoal as a backfill that can corrode the electrode and pollute groundwater. The Jef Ecosafe system has a longer lifetime of 15+ years compared to 3-14 years for conventional systems and requires no maintenance.
