Earth bars
Furse earth bars are an efficient and convenient way of
providing a common earth point, and integral disconnecting
links allow easy isolation for testing purposes.
Standard Furse earth bars are available in a variety of lengths,
but all consist of a 50 mm wide by 6 mm thick copper bar
with M10 termination screws - standard product codes
are provided.
