| Electrolytic Grounding Systems (EGS)... |
|
| TerraDyne® Electrolytic Grounding System is a multipurpose grounding system. It has been designed to provide long term protection from lightning, electrical transients, static discharges, electro-magnetic interference and other electrical hazards. The system may be used for virtually any application where the protection of machinery, electronics, and personnel is important. |

TerraDyne® EGS was designed for use in any type of soil condition. Some of the many applications where it is commonly used include cellular, radio and television broadcasting sites, computer facilities, power substations, communication centers, medical facilities and industrial plants.
TerraDyne® EGS is guaranteed for 30 years, with an expected life of at least 50 years. The systems are available in vertical or horizontal models. Vertical electrodes are usually installed using an augur or other drilling equipment. Horizontal electrodes are installed in trenches and utilized where the soil is rocky or excavation conditions are poor. The electrodes vary in length from 8 to 300 feet. Custom lengths, accessories and design options are available. |

| TerraDyne® EGS effectively utilizes a hygroscopic process to acquire moisture from the atmosphere. The moisture and the nontoxic chemicals inside the electrode react and create an electrolytic solution. This electrolytic solution leaches into the surrounding soil through ports that have been positioned in the electrode. This process improves the soil conductivity and dramatically reduces electrical resistance between the electrode and the earth. |
