Earthing
Introduction
Furse earthing components are manufactured to meet exacting British, European
and International standards to ensure robust, long lasting performance in even
the harshest soil conditions.
Furse earthing and equipotential bonding products offer the
surest solution to this problem.
From pipe clamps and metalwork bonds to connect to
accessible metal parts, to low resistance copper conductor
and high quality earth rods for the earthing arrangement -
Furse products are designed to perform.
And where our standard range doesn’t quite fit your
requirements, with full design and manufacturing capability
we can design a special component to suit.
Special component design and manufacture
Our standard range is designed to meet the vast
majority of earthing applications. However, on occasion,
you may have the need for a non-standard part, for example
where connecting large copper cable or tape to a rod, or to
metalwork.
Where this is the case, our technical engineering team can
design a special component to your needs, which on approval
can be manufactured in the quantity specified for the project.
All components are designed to withstand mechanical
damage and the thermal and electromechanical stresses from
the earth fault and leakage currents expected within an
installation.
These components, combined together, form the earth
termination system - the vital system for dispersing those
dangerous lightning and fault currents safely and effectively
into the ground.
Following National & International standards, we recommend
a single integrated earth termination system for a structure,
combining lightning protection earthing with power and
telecommunication system earthing.
This integrated approach ensures all systems are
appropriately cross-bonded and earthed, to fully safeguard
against the risk of voltage differences which might otherwise
give rise to flashover or electric shock.
