Conductive Aggregates help achieve a low resistant Earth Termination Network reading, but Marconite is the best all-around performer.
The purpose of an earth termination network or “earthing system”, is to provide a low impedance pathway for both electrical fault and lightning discharge currents to safely dissipate into the ground.
Lattice Copper Earth Mats are placed in the ground and used as an earth electrode as part of an earthing network, They can be used where step & touch potential could cause problems.
Earth Bars are manufactured as standard with plain exposed copper bar, this is fine and does not cause any problems as generally the Earth Bars are located on the inside of a building.
