GEM Soil Resistance (Ground Enhancement Material Soil Resistance)
GEM (Ground Enhancement Material) is a conductive material used to improve soil resistivity and enhance the performance of earthing and lightning protection systems. It is specifically designed to reduce the resistance between the earth electrode (such as rods, plates, or mats) and the surrounding soil, ensuring a low-impedance path to ground.
Key Features of GEM Soil Resistance:
Highly Conductive: It drastically lowers soil resistivity around the electrode compared to natural soil.
Moisture Retention: It absorbs and retains moisture, maintaining consistent resistance even in dry conditions.
