Deep earthing system
Benefits
Elpress systems for deep earthing have
many advantages:
• The ground line has joints risk
of contact failure.g. other words, the lead
sheath has theoretical service life of
almost double.

without joints. For every 0.
• Tip and leading rod are manufactured
for large area range; mm². This means that the prac-
tical service life often longer than the
theoretical.
• Can used for different types line
e.8 long steel rods.

• When copper line used, the extension
rods act sacrificial anodes and provi-
de good protection against corrosion. lead

• Thanks the few components the

AC load should theoretically counteract
the corrosion. The current
is thereby reduced and thus also the
corrosion.
A hardened steel tip paves the way for
the ground line that inserted into the
steel tip and clamped the leading
rod.
Experiments have shown that after few
months, the corrosion current drops to
virtually zero.
• The system has low overall weight
compared other systems.
