Earth Mat Suppliers In South Africa

What is an Earth Mat?

An Earth Mat is a mesh formed of bare metallic conductors and buried in shallow soil to provide better safety from touch and step potential.

Earth mats are a part of the grounding system implemented in substations, production plants, industrial areas, etc., where high power handling occurs.
