In an Earthing System, the ground electrode provides the physical
connection to the mass of earth, and is the instrument used
to deliver fault current into it.
In a Lightning Protection application, the role of the Earthing
system is to dissipate the lightning current into the earth
mass as quickly as possible, whilst minimizing the ground potential
rise, and maximizing the potential falloff from the current
injection point. The combined use of vertical ground rods, in
conjunction with flat tape conductors, provides the most effective
method within which to accomplish this.
ERICO is the world's largest manufacturer of
ground rods, and offers a complete range of ground electrodes,
tapes, and accessories to meet the needs of every user.
