Earthing Products

Cleveland Cable provides numerous Electrical earthing products, also known as grounding products. These products are used to protect people and electrical equipment from potential harm caused by electrical faults and power surges. Earthing products provide a safe pathway for fault currents and lightning strikes to flow into the ground, preventing damage and injuries.

1. Protection from Electric Shock:
Earthing provides a low-resistance path for fault currents to flow to earth, bypassing the human body if someone touches a live metal part.
This causes a protective device (like a circuit breaker or fuse) to trip, shutting off the power to the faulty circuit and preventing electric shock.
2. Protection from Damage to Equipment:
Earthing diverts fault currents and surges into the ground, preventing them from damaging electrical equipment. This is particularly important in lightning protection systems, where earthing helps to safely dissipate lightning strikes.
3. System Earthing:
System earthing helps to prevent static buildup and protects against power surges. It also ensures that all metal parts in an electrical installation are at the same potential, preventing potential differences that could lead to electric shocks.
4. Specific Products and Their Uses:
Earth Bars/Grounding Rods: Provide a reliable connection to the earth for earthing systems.
Earthing Wires/Conductors: Carry fault currents and surges to the grounding system.
Earthing Clamps: Secure earthing wires to metal parts for proper grounding.
Earthing Plates: Provide a large surface area for earthing connections.
