ABC Earthing Kits H01

ABC Earthing Kit4 legged ABC earth kit. Each leg of the earth truss terminates with a female bayonet type pipe connector with a protective rubber hand guard. These couple onto individual ABC phases via a male bayonet pipe fitting which is connected by an IPC. 4 x 25mm² flexible copper earth leads with clear PVC Jacket. Short circuit rating 5kA/second.

CAT NO DESCRIPTION

SZL-FRZ-B-25-4 4 Legged ABC Earthing Kit

ABC/Bare Wire LV Earthing SystemDesigned to meet the requirement for an earthing kit for use on low voltage ABC conductor with the facility to be adapted for use on traditional bare wire low voltage systems. This kit allows earthing of ABC conductor through the fuse cutout box with 3 wedge type earth clamps tightening down onto the fork of the fuse contact on LV pole mounted fuse cutout boxes.

CAT NO: LV-ABC-BW

The kit consists of an earth truss with 5 x 25mm² copper earth leads joined using a terminal plate housed in a black plastic cover. Each end of the earth truss has a pipe connector with a rubber hand guard, which terminates in a female bayonet fitting. When being used on LV ABC the single 1m lead connects onto the earth/neutral ABC wire via a male bayonet pipe fitting connected by an IPC.

The 3 wedge clamps are also attached to the earth truss by a pipe connector with a male bayonet fitting. The black rubber handles enable a positive means of connection and disconnection of the wedge clamps on and off the fork of the fuse contact in the pole box. Note, one earth leg is left free when used on ABC conductor.

The bayonet fitting allows the replacement of the wedge type earth clamps with the screw type duckbill clamps for use on bare wire low voltage lines using 4 legs as a shorting kit or 5 legs where earthing of street lighting wire is required. An additional lead with pipe connector and duckbill clamp is available for use on bare wire LV systems where an additional earth wire is installed.

The complete kit is provided with a stuff sack with internal pockets to neatly store individual components. This kit has been independently short circuit tested in accordance of the requirements of IEC 61230:2008.

Truck Earthing ReelProvides an efficient and positive means to earth trucks working on or near energised lines. Tested to achieve maximum fault current rating. The earth connection from reel to vehicle, is made during the initial installation. The operator is then only required to connect the free end to a suitable earthing point by attaching the earth clamp. Reels are designed to be bolted to the vehicle so they can be easily removed for transfer to new vehicles.

Spring rewind drum for controlled pay out and take up. Four way cable guide rollers allow for one man operation and protects cable from excessive wear. Weather tight construction to prevent corrosion. 2 drum sizes available. Earth cable and clamp can be factory installed. Please call us for other cable sizes and lengths not listed. Yellow vinyl cover available for all truck earthing reels.

Portable Protective Earthing MatsProvides a method for workers to establish an equal potential zone for multiple earthing applications. The earth mat is manufactured from vinyl-polyester or hypalon-marine fabric with high ampacity, tinned copper braid sewn into a grid pattern. The braid connects to a terminal stud on the corner of the mat which can be bonded to any equipment being worked on using an approved earth clamp and cable assembly. Available in standard yellow or anti slip black each in 3 sizes. Mats can be bonded together to cover large areas for stringing equipment etc. The mats can be folded or rolled for easy storage, they can be used either way up and can be easily cleaned using a pressure washer.

Specialist Earthing H07

www.horizonutilitysupplies.comenquiries@hor-i-zon.com01275 342700

A safe and efficient solution for driving earth rods. We offer two types of driver - a manual version and a power version which fits on to a breaker. Both types ensure a safer means of driving earth rods as the operator is stood at ground level regardless of rod length. The rod is gripped near ground level minimising vibration in the rod and reducing soil displacement to achieve improved earth resistance readings.

Manual Earth Rod DriverThe Manual Driver provides a portable means of quickly driving earth rods up to 12ft with considerably less effort than other drivers. The guide tube ensures a powerful and direct blow with each strike of the hammer. Couplings can be installed between the bottom of the chuck and ground level.

One person operation, the driver is suitable where access with vehicles is difficult. The two components weigh only 19lb (8.6kg) each and can easily be carried, one in each hand.

Power Type Earth Rod DriverThe Power Type Earth Rod Driver can be used on most hydraulic, petrol or electric breakers, simply specify collet size of breaker and we will supply the correct shank with the unit.

Weighing only 28lb (12.8kg) the power driver can easily drive rods up to 16ft.

One person operation, the driver grips the rod near ground level, eliminating the problem of having to hold the breaker at an unsafe height.
