TotalConnections2009 manufactures a full range of lattice copper earth mats, or grounding plates, as standard.
Earth mats are commonly used in high fault current situations, where using a standard earth rod for earthing protection is too difficult. For example if the surface area soil is too solid or compacted to utilise standard grounding connectors. Lattice earth mats are also seen as a more economical option compared to solid earth mats.
A lattice or solid copper plate earth mat therefore may be a more practical, long lasting, effective and economical solution. They cover a wide surface area enabling better contact with the surrounding soil. Lattice earth mats are normally installed horizontally in a pre-prepared earthing pit and backfilled. Solid earth plates are normally installed vertically and backfilled.
Our lattice earthing mats are designed to the highest standards, using C101 HDHC flat copper bar (or tape).
Bare copper plated earth mats can be supplied on request. We are also able to manufacture copper lattice and solid earth plates to bespoke specifications.
Our standard earth mat sizes are:
| Part No. | Length (mm) | Width (mm) | No. Bars | Material Size (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TCEM-500-4 | 500 | 500 | 4 | 25x3 |
| TCEM-600-4 | 600 | 600 | 4 | 25x3 |
