Back Fill Compound ( BFC ) DRY TYPE

Doksun Power thus added a new feather in their product line BACK FILL COMPOUND (Dry Type), and
specially developed Earthing Electrode with Shunt Resistor 1 meter in length.
Back fill Compound ( Dry Type ) is a specially developed Compound which is capable of high discipation of
fault current without use of water in the Compound.The Dry Type BFC is formulated as per RDSO, and is
technically known as Conductive Cement Concrete. The BFC Dry Type is Cement base and no bentonite is used
in making of this type of compound. This Compound is completely non-corrosive and inert in nature. It helps in
faster conduction of fault current, least fluctuation of ohmic value, and eliminates the use of coal salt mixture, as
in wet type of BFC, where water is very essential for successful working of earthing. This Back Fill Compound is
generally used in Rocky and low moisture areas. The compound is conductive in both state, either Dry state or
Wet state, so one should not be confused if moisture is present, then this BFC will not work. If moisture is
attained it will work and if moisture is Dried up and no moisture is present then also the whole earthing system
will continue to work efficiently.
Doksun Power has also developed a different type of Earthing Electrode with Shunt Resistor to be used
with this type of Dry type Back Fill Compound. The Electrode is 1 meter in height with three pods delivering the
same surface area as 3 meter earthing electrode. The augered pit is completely filled with this Back Fill
Compound with electrode in it, and no soil is mixed with the compound. The BFC is filled pure and
independently and with or without water as one finds convenient. The rocky areas and low moisture areas are
generally difficult to dig areas, therefore this type of Earthing System is completely a boon for them.

DOKSUN MAKE BACK FILL COMPOUND

It is always placed around the earth electrode in the earth pit to improve the conductivity of earth electrode and ground
contact area. The greatest advantage to use the product is that it eliminates the use of coal and salt mixture and will not
shrink and crack with time. Our DOKSUN Make back fill compound (earth enhancement material) is :

A Homogeneous mixture based upon Cement of naturally/artificially occurring hygroscopic conducting

compounds. It is chemically activated and modified for earthing/grounding needs, which increases the earthing
system efficiency.

The Dry Type BFC there by creats a strong connection in between the electrode and the soil always.

Non-toxic, non-reactive, non-explosive and non-corrosive in nature and thermally stable which makes DOKSUN
make BFC ideal for earthing / grounding purposes.

A superior conductive material that solves the toughest earthing/grounding needs, improves the effectiveness
regardless of soil conditions. DOKSUN make BFC is an ideal material to use in areas of poor conductivity, high
corrosion and frequent moisture fluctuations in the soil i.e. rocky grounds, sandy or gravel soil, and mountain
ranges.

The main principle of DOKSUN make Dry Type BFC is to commence conductivity in earthing to the sandy or rocky
soil or any type of soil and to sheath the electrode with it as soon as earthing is complete. This sheathing is
conductive, non-corrosive and enlarges the surface area of the electrode to conduct effectively, thus enhancing
the efficiency of earthing/grounding system. No setting time is required in this product.
