L&S Home

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.
