The complete range of Copper Earth Plates that are manufactured fromsolid copperand are used as an earthing solution whereearth rodsare not suitable – the plates are used as part of an earthing system and are often installed in conjunction with low resistance earthing compound or Bentonite.
Copper earth plates can be installed in the ground to achieve effective earth in shallow soils with underlying rocks or in underground locations with multiple buried cable and pipe services – used also to provide protection at medium/high voltage (MV-HV) switching locations where high resistivity soil or ground rock conditions prohibit the driving of copper earth rods.
Solid copper earth plates are manufactured to BS EN 12163 (formerly BS 2874) – copper lattice earth mats are also available. Available in 600mm x 600m and 900mm x 900mm dimensions and 1.5mm or 3mm thick copper.
EARTH PLATES SOLID COPPER 600 X 600 X 3.0MM
Wallis EMP603 earth plates manufactured from copper provide a reliable earthing solution where earth rods do not provide adequate earth resistance due to poor ground or soil conditions.
EARTHING & SOIL CONDITIONS
Earth resistivity impacts the impedance of buriedcopper conductors – earthresistivity is determined by soil characteristics including moisture content, soil temperature and soil types. When designed and installed according to applicable national standards Earthing & Lightning Protection Systems protect buildings and equipment from damage inflicted by fault currents or lightning surges.
