Composite grounding systems: assess the complete proposal

Original publication: · Reviewed:

Compare a proposed grounding system with the existing design on a common duty and installation basis. Include conductor geometry, connections, land and maintenance assumptions rather than accepting a general cost or performance claim.

Review the application

A copper-equivalent label alone does not confirm fault-current performance, connection compatibility or suitability for the installation. The conductor and connections need a project-specific review.

Information to provide

Confirm the proposed construction

Agree on the conductor drawing, electrical duty and acceptance basis.

Review sample dimensions, electrical and mechanical data, and connection compatibility.

Complete the project-required system evaluation before accepting a material change.
