Earthing Accessories

Types
Earthing Clamp - Static grounding clamps that are better known as earthing clamps are connected by cables to ground-points prevent electrostatic charge accumulating in flammable and explosive atmospheres.

Earthing Plates - An earthing plate is usually made of steel and aluminum and is used to achieve an effective earth in shallow soils with underlying rocks or in locations with large amounts of buried services.

Earthing Rods - These components of earthing accessories can be used to achieve an effective earth depending on the site conditions with the advantage of lower resistivity soils at greater depths than normal excavation will allow.

Materials
An effective earthing system is the rudiment requirement of any building construction for safety reasons. To solve the purpose quality earth rods are commonly made from either solid copper, stainless steel or copper bonded steel. Solid copper and stainless steel rods offer a very high level of corrosion resistance while copper bonded steel rod is the most popular, due to its combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and comparatively low cost. Earthing clamps as well as conductors are made of zinc-plated and yellow passivated steel while tinned copper and fitted with zinc-plated steel screws and tracking-resistant thermoplastic spacers are needed in the manufacturing of equalizer bars.

Applications
The earthing accessories are always in demand. Thanks to the expansion of the building and construction industry. This segment involves protection from electrical shock. In industry and building construction applications, connectors and potential equalizer bars are used for earthing purposes to connect the conductive structure parts into a joint protective system. These applications of earthing accessories in different arenas has helped the earthing hardware market to flourish even in difficult times.
