The importance of a bonded earthing system is essen- tial to the safe operation of any site.  Importantly an equip- otential bonded earthing system provides a strong level of personal protection for all human traffic against step and touch potentials, along with protecting all equipment and structures from electrical system faults and lightning.
         Equipotential is the result of bonding together all circuits and conductors in a way that minimises potential differences between the metal framework of the structure, other metallic installations, telecommunication installations and the lightning earth.
 

         The LPI Transient Earth Clamp provides equipotential bonding under transient conditions by forming a closed circuit, whilst remaining in “open circuit” under normal operating conditions.
         The Transient Earth Clamp should be used where separate earthing systems are installed.

         At some sites the use of separate earths for lightning, mains power and communications can work under normal conditions, however when large fault currents or transient voltages occur, potential differences between earths create a dangerous situation.  In order to create a earthing system of the highest integrity, all separate earths must be bonded together to form an equipotential earth plane which will eliminate earth loops and potential differences arriving under transient conditions.

Low resistance earth which allows for the safe dissipation of energy

A low earth impedance which provides a preferred path for lightning impulses through the earthing electrodes to the ground mass

Correctly sized conductors which can withstand high fault currents

Quality earthing hardware which presents a high level of conductivity and minimises the risk of corrosion. Copper accessories are the most commonly used in achieving the above requirements

         LPI Ground Resistance Improvement Powder (GRIP) is a chemical solution which provides improved electrical conductivity in areas of poor conductivity such as sandy soils and rocky earth.
