Do’s
Do ensure that the electrode shall, as far as practicable be embedded below permanent moisture level
• Do inspect the carth electrode regularly.
• Do ensure that every earth wire shall be of copper galvanized iron or steel.
• Do ensure good and reliable electrical connection between earthing leads & earth electrodes
• Do ensure that the path of earth wire should as far as possible, be out of reach of any person.
• Do Consider all parameters while designing the earth system
• Do ensure the size of earthing wire is proper and according to IS 3043 (Code of practice for earthing and IE rules)
• Do ensure that all materials fitting etc. use in the earthing system shall conform to IS Specification wherever they exist
• Do ensure safety earthing while working on electrical installation
• Do ensure that as for as possible all earth terminals should be visible

Dont’s
• Don’t connect single pole switch or fuse in a neutral circuit. Always connect it in the live or phase wire circuit.
• Don’t renew a blown fuse until you are satisfied as to the cause of its blowing and also as to the removal of the cause
• Don’t use copper or aluminium wire as a substitute for fuse wire
• Don’t touch or tamper with any electrical gear or conductor unless you
haye made sure that it is dead end corthed. High Voltage apparatus may give shock or flashover without touching
• Don’t disconnect earthing connections or render ineffective the safety gadgets installed on mains and apparatus till you are at work
• Don’t expose your eyes to an electric arc. Painful injury may result even with short exposure.
• Don’t take unnecessary risk with electricity. Low voltage under certain circumstances can be dangerous.
• Don’t use paint, enamel and grease on the electrodes.
• Don’t use neutral conductor as earth wire.
• Don’t use water pipe ling for earthing.
