Ground straps

Ground straps – flat strap earth electrodes are used for safe earthing in electrical and electronic applications. They ensure the leakage current of unwanted electrical voltages in order to protect electrical components and systems from overvoltages and interference. Typical areas of application for earthing straps are

1. Earthing of machines and systems
2. Protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI)
3. Vehicles and airplanes
4. Lightning protection systems
5. Switch cabinet construction
6. Telecommunications systems

Due to their flexibility and conductivity, ground straps are ideal for use on components that are difficult to access or move.
