Earthing systems are designed to safely
dissipate any fault current that may occur.
Pontins offers a comprehensive range of
products and solutions for earthing, bonding
and connecting for the full gamut of applications.
 
Specific earthing systems can be designed for the
following applications:    

Lightning protection earthing systems
These earthing systems are designed to dissipate the lightning
energy into the ground mass. The earthing system should
minimize the ground voltage potential rise and therefore lessen
the risk of injury to person and damage to equipment.

Electrical mains/earthing systems
Electrical earths are designed for the dissipation of electrical
fault currents. Their primary purpose is to prevent injury to
person and equipment damage. Their resistance must be
sufficiently low to ensure that any earth fault can be safely
dissipated.

Dedicated earthing systems
Dedicated earthing systems are designed to protect dedicated
electrical systems, such as computer and telecommunications
systems. The special earthing requirements for the protection
of hazardous or explosive locations can also be regarded as a
dedicated earthing system.
