Ionic Breathing Technology

The Ionic Breathing Technology (IBT) has been developed to address the need for effective earthing in harsher environments. This innovative system introduces a dynamic element to the electrode’s functionality.

The electrode’s terminal end features perforations, which are mirrored by similar perforations at the bottom end. The cavity between the electrodes is filled with IonFill, a material containing hygroscopic elements. These elements capture moisture from the surrounding environment, ‘inhaling’ it through the terminal end. This moisture mixes with the IonFill to form a concentrated aqueous solution that is electrically conductive.

Due to gravity, this solution steadily flows downward, ‘exhaling’ out through the bottom perforations. As it flows through the soil, it forms conductive roots around the electrode, increasing the effective surface area and enhancing the system’s overall performance.

Pioneered by UMG the Pipe In Pipe design incorporates the use of two pipes of co-axial diameters joined together for enhancing the service life and performance of the over all earthing system. The cavity in-between the electrodes is filled with crystalline conductive compounds IonFill or CompactFill for current dissipation and anti corrosive properties.

The electrode cross section has to be circular for the uniform distribution of fault current all around from electrode to earth.
