EARTHLINE™ GROUNDING ROD
ANSI/IEEE
Standard 80 - Guide for Safety in AC Substation
Grounding recommends the following basic requirements
for grid conductors, joints and connecting leads:
-
Resist fusing and mechanical deterioration under most
adverse combination of a fault current magnitude and
duration.
- Be mechanically reliable and rugged to a high degree,
especially on locations exposed to corrosion and physical
abuse.
 One
of the primary concerns in terms of designing a grounding
system for a pipeline facility or gas compressor plant
is selecting a material that is resistant to corrosion
and does not interfere with the existing cathodic protection
system of the plant underground piping system. Zinc
is an active metal which can be maintained at a satisfactory
electrochemical potential that can reasonably be protected
by the cathodic protection system of the facility.
Earthline™ is a zinc-coated steel conductor manufactured
by The Platt Brothers & Company for grounding grid
applications.
Earthline™ can be made in a variety of sizes.
The steel core size can be 1/2", 5/8", or
3/4" with a zinc coating of 0.090 - 0.125"
thick. Other sizes are available as well. Electrical
grounding requirements need to be calculated and translated
into the proper conductor size.
