Grounding Solutions
Protection of energy storage systems and personnel demands a systematic approach to minimizing threats caused by transients, from the ground up. We will help you safeguard your investments with proven methods and products.
Grounding Busbar
Proper bonding is essential to create an equipotential plane between service grounds and equipment during fault and transient conditions. We offer grounding busbar in standard sizes and can custom design to your specifications.
Ground Rods and Grounding Couplers
From industry-leading copper-bonded ground rods to solid copper, stainless steel and galvanized rods, we have the ground rod solution you can depend on, including grounding couplers.
Grounding Connectors
nVent ERICO Cadweld exothermically welded connections provide a permanent, molecular bond that will not loosen or corrode. The connections are designed to maintain for the life of your energy storage installation and are certified to IEEE 837.
Grounding and bonding braids and other mechanical grounding connectors are also available from nVent ERICO for connecting energy storage systems correctly.
Theft-Deterrent Grounding Solutions
Theft-deterrent composite cables are conductors that function as copper conductors but incorporate an outer steel layer that is difficult to cut. These conductors are ideal for energy storage applications with exposed electrical grounding leads.
Lightning Protection Systems
Our lightning protection series includes conventional and enhanced options for preventing costly damage to your energy storage systems and battery connections.
nVent ERICO System 1000
System 1000 encompasses three air terminal models and accessories that are designed to comply with the requirements of the French NF C 17-102 standard.
nVent ERICO System 2000
System 2000 includes a series of air terminals, downconductors and fittings, engineered in accordance with European IEC 62305, USA UL 96 and NFPA 780 standards.
nVent ERICO System 3000
System 3000 is a technically advanced lightning protection system offering efficient air terminal placement in accordance with the Collection Volume Method (CVM).
Surge Protection Devices
Power, control and communications circuits are often disrupted with electrical disturbances from switching of electrical loads, electrical noise or the occasional induced transient. Surge protection devices from nVent ERICO help you avoid the consequences of hazardous overcurrent events
