Modern electronic equipment is sensitive.
More susceptible to surges and electromagnetic interferences.
Components size is reduced.
More components per chip.
Why failures are more now ?

McMLEarthing&BondingSystem1. Underground Corrosion National Bureau of Standards Circular 579From 1910 to 1955, the National Bureau of Standards conducted an extensive undergroundcorrosion study in which 36,500 specimens, representing 333 varieties of ferrous, nonferrous,and protective coating materials were exposed in 128 test locations throughout the UnitedStates.
In cooperation with the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, the NCEL conducted a7-year program of testing metal rods for electrical grounding. Copper bonded, stainless clad,and galvanized steel rods were included among other materials

and galvanized steel rods were included among other materials.
3.National Electrical Grounding Research Project (NEGRP) Pawnee Site Excavation
The NEGRP was started in 1992 to compare the long-term performance of different types of grounding electrodes.
In 2003, one of the original sites (Pawnee) was excavated and the electrodes removed 5/8 copper bonded and galvanized rod samples were exhumed. The results were definitive : The 5/8 copper bonded rod was virtually free of corrosion while the galvanized rod showed significant deterioration (see the pictures on next slide).

The low current density can be achieved by designing the electrodein such a way that the dimensions in one direction is large comparedto the other two, thus a pipe/rod has a much lower resistance than aplate of equal surface area.

Conventional Methods
Use of sodium chloride, magnesium, and copper sulfates, or calciumchloride, to increase the conductivity of the soil immediatelysurrounding an electrode.
McML Protection Technologies Pvt Ltd
State or federal authorities may not permit using this methodbecause of possible leaching to surrounding areas.
The salt treatment must be renewed periodically.
