Day 2 : Earthing installation activity from Ather and their vendor team.
[This message is for those who not aware of earthing activity process, For people who’s charging point gave surprise of no earthing connections ]
I have scheduled appointment on 1st June 2019 at 13:00. Mr. Lokesh from Ather team was on time to my location but he needs wait for vendors to reach my place took 2.5 hours and we finally started with earthing work around 15:45.
Pre - Requites equipment for earthing : slight_smile:
- Earth Hole digging bar.
- Earthing Electrodes [Rod].
- Ground Enhancing compound [Chemical].
- Earthing Copper wire [ Ather Non - Standard wire. I purchased personally ] and Electrical Wire.
Installation steps :
A) Started with Earth Hole digging bar to dig the earth hole. We need to do in 3 places as
1st hole failed due to interior sanitary pipe connection pipe found and 2nd failed to due
to rock came up in middle and not able to proceed further and dig 3rd hole which was
successful without issues.
To reduce effort of employee and time who was using manual bar for his work. We
provided machinery equipment to take care of activity. [ Since my father works in
construction field so we were having machinery equipment called [Demolition
Machine ]
B) After digging the earth hole, exactly in middle inserted with Earthing Electrodes [Rod]
and remaining places of completely filled with 25 kg of Ground Enhancing compound
[Chemical] and used water to set and waited until it get dry.
C) Previous places which was digged was closed by vendor and all set his job completed
and got ready to leave the place. Next works [Electrical works ] needs to be taken
Lokesh [Ather]
I) He connected copper wire [Which we took 200 meters] from earthing installation place
line to the wall.
II) He extended connection from copper wire to normal electrical wire till the electrical point and gave connection to the main point where home charging point is installed.
III) Lokesh ensure electrical wire are properly placed in wall and test the connection immediately turned on MCB, The hidden surprise was home charging point started flowing from RED to GREEN
Real happiness is making the things to happen and my sincere thanks to Lokesh in this picture. He was very polite, smiley face and patience he did 2nd day Ather work very Awesome !!!
Now, I need to schedule 3rd day appointment with Ather, To close earthing pole with cement and need to make external electrical cover with fiber as wire to directly placed on the wall.
I will take care with ather team on offline.
