ACI Partner Copper-Bonded Steel Earth Tape 30x4 mm, 25 kg

The ACI Partner copper-bonded steel earth tape, measuring 30x4 mm and supplied in a 25 kg coil, is a high-quality grounding conductor engineered for professional lightning protection and earthing systems. By combining the mechanical strength of a steel core with the superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of a copper coating, this tape provides a durable and reliable solution for grounding electrical installations in both residential and industrial environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this copper-bonded steel earth tape is its exceptional resistance to environmental degradation. The copper layer effectively protects the steel core from oxidation and corrosion, significantly extending the service life of the grounding system even in challenging soil conditions. Furthermore, the material offers excellent electrical conductivity, ensuring efficient dissipation of fault currents and lightning strikes. Its flexible yet robust construction allows for easier installation compared to solid copper alternatives, while maintaining the necessary structural integrity for long-term underground or surface applications.

Suitable for

• Lightning protection systems for residential buildings
• Industrial earthing and grounding networks
• Foundation earthing electrodes
• Equipotential bonding in electrical installations

When it may not be suitable

This product may not be suitable for environments with extremely high levels of soil acidity or alkalinity that exceed the protective capabilities of the copper bonding. Additionally, it is not intended for use in applications requiring high-flexibility wiring or where the tape will be subject to constant mechanical movement or vibration.

Key specifications

• Material: Copper-bonded steel
• Dimensions: 30x4 mm
• Weight: 25 kg coil
• Corrosion resistance: High
• Application: Grounding and lightning protection

How to use

The earth tape should be installed according to local electrical safety regulations and project-specific lightning protection designs. It can be buried directly in the ground or mounted on building surfaces using appropriate fasteners. Ensure that all connections are made using compatible clamps or welding techniques designed for copper-bonded materials to maintain electrical continuity and prevent galvanic corrosion at the joints.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the total length required for your specific grounding project
• Ensure compatibility with existing earthing components and connectors
• Check local building codes regarding the minimum cross-section for grounding conductors
• Assess the soil conditions at the installation site

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the grounding system for signs of mechanical damage or loose connections to ensure the continued safety and effectiveness of the lightning protection installation.
