The copper grounding strip is a grounding material widely used in electrical installations, industrial areas, and building infrastructures due to its high conductivity and durability. Thanks to copper’s excellent electrical conductivity, it ensures that stray currents in grounding systems are transmitted to the ground quickly and safely. These strips reduce grounding resistance, allowing electrical systems to operate safely while protecting lives and property during electrical faults.
Copper grounding strips are highly resistant to weather conditions and have a long lifespan. They are particularly suitable for use in humid and challenging outdoor environments, as copper is naturally corrosion-resistant and does not rust. These strips come in various widths and thicknesses, making them adaptable to specific project needs. Their installation is straightforward, enhancing the effectiveness of grounding connections.
These strips are used in a variety of sectors, including telecommunications, power plants, buildings, transformer stations, and industrial facilities. Compared to other metals, copper offers much higher conductivity, making it a reliable solution for grounding systems. Joints in copper grounding strips are made using connectors, welding, or screws, maintaining maximum conductivity.
