SURYA POWER COPPER EARTHING STRIPS

Copper Earthing Strips are flat conductors made of high-purity copper, used in electrical earthing systems to safely dissipate fault currents into the ground. These strips are a crucial part of grounding systems in industrial, commercial, and residential electrical installations.

Key Features:

• Material: High-conductivity electrolytic copper (usually 99.9% pure).
• Sizes: Vary based on application; common widths range from 20 mm to 100 mm, with thicknesses from 2 mm to 10 mm.
• Finish: Bare copper, tinned copper, or PVC-coated depending on corrosion resistance needs.
• Flexibility: Flat and flexible, making them easy to install and connect.

Advantages:

• Excellent conductivity – ensures low resistance path to earth.
• Corrosion resistance – copper is durable in most soil and environmental conditions.
• Long lifespan – suitable for long-term installations.
• High fault current carrying capacity – can handle large surges or short circuits.

Common Applications:

• Earthing for electrical substations and transformers
• Lightning protection systems
• Industrial machinery grounding
• Power plants and data centers
• Residential earthing systems

Standards (varies by region):

• IS 3043 (India)
• IEC 62561
• BS 7430
