Introduction

TerraDyne®Electrolytic Grounding System

IntroductionOne of the most important investments a company makes is in its selection of sensitive electronic equipment. As this equipment becomes more sophisticated and electrically susceptible, the need for an exceptionally low-resistance grounding system becomes more crucial. It is in response to this requirement that ALLTEC Corporation developed the TerraDyne® Electrolytic Grounding System.

TerraDyne® Electrolytic Grounding System (EGS)TerraDyne® EGS 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.

Protecting your expensive equipment is essential. TerraDyne® EGS enhances the performance of your electronics, stabilizes signal references and reduces the risk of injuries. The end result is a stable grounding system that provides undisturbed long-term performance while maintaining cost efficiency.

Principles of OperationTerraDyne® 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.

TerraDyne® also takes advantage of another benefit. The hole bored for the installation is back-filled with TerraFill®, which also assists in substantially lowering the earth’s resistance by creating a direct, low resistance, electrical connection between the electrode and the earth. The use of TerraFill® will reduce impedance by increasing the effective contact area of the electrode to the soil. TerraFill® is an easily applied product manufactured from environmentally safe and stable products. Each kit includes TerraFill® as the backfill material.

TerraDyne® InnovationsThrough extensive research and development of the electrolytic grounding concept, our engineers have designed TerraDyne® to enhance the overall performance of any grounding application. TerraDyne® EGS may be utilized on any project with complete confidence that it will meet or exceed any existing grounding specification.

TerraDyne® Electrolytic Grounding Systems are 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.

Introduction

TerraFill®Grounding Backfill

IntroductionTerraFill® provides a simple method to substantially lower the earth resistance of grounding systems. When used with copper grounding equipment, this advanced backfill lowers the contact resistance to earth by up to 63%.

Low-Resistivity Grounding BackfillTerraFill® is an easily applied product that produces lower steady state and stable grounding impedance. It produces lower surge impedance, resulting in faster transient dissipation. Manufactured from environmentally safe and stable products, TerraFill® has an excellent shelf life and long term storage has no performance effects.

TerraFill® creates a reliable, low resistance, electrical connection between the grounding system and the earth. It is manufactured to be compatible with copper grounding systems and standard field application methods. It can be used in connection with grounding grids to minimize step and touch potentials. In high resistivity soils, TerraFill® can be used to produce acceptable grounding impedance within a reasonable sized area.

The versatility and ease of applying TerraFill® to lower ground resistance of grounding equipment allows for a variety of earthing designs to be used, which would otherwise be impractical. It requires only minimal instruction for application. TerraFill® is self compacting, comes in easily transportable 50 lbs (22.68 kg) bags, and can be easily installed by a single person.

Ground Grids/Ground Mesh Flat Strap Signal Reference Grids

Overlapping ends are equal to 1/2 the “Spacing“ plus 2” unless specified otherwise.

Please contact your representative for additional sizes.•

Other conductor sizes are available upon request.•APPLICATION NOTES:

For enhancing external grounding systems at radio, paging, cellular, etc. •transmitting/receiving facilities.

If strategically placed, mesh can be used as a safety adjunct to reduce dangerous •step and touch potentials.

For Personnel ProtectionFor protection of personnel operating high voltage switch gear and equipment, a prefabricated safety mat can be installed and bonded directly to the equipment to reduce any potentially lethal electrical potential under fault conditions.By installing a wire mat 4 to 12 inches below a layer of crushed rock and bonding it solidly to the switch apparatus, the potential difference between the switch operator and the switch can be suppressed to an acceptable low value. (As per IEEE Std. 80-1986).

Personnel Safety Mats are available in standard 4 ft. x 4 ft. and 4 ft. x 6 ft. sizes. Safety Mats can be supplied on shipping pallets for easy handling.

Flat Strap Signal Reference Grids

Flat Strap Signal Reference GridsALLTEC Corporation has the capabilities to design and manufacture Copper Flat Strap Signal Reference Grids for computer rooms and equipment rooms with raised floors. Typical Signal Reference Grids are manufactured from 2” wide soft copper strap on a 24” spacing.

Proper bonding and grounding are essential factors in today’s quest for ultimate power quality, and it is critical to have a system that is driven by both safety and performance. Alltec Corporation’s Signal Reference Grids (SRGs) are used around the world in communication/data centers to reduce static and noise and to protect equipment. SRGs are cost-effective, easy to maintain, and very successful at protecting equipment from voltage surges. The purpose of Signal Reference Grids is to enhance the overall reliability of the signal transfer between interconnected items of equipment by reducing the inter-unit common mode electrical noise over a broad band of frequency. All metallic enclosures, conduit, and ductwork should be bonded to the Signal Reference Grid for it to function properly.

All connections are welded with silver brazing or can be pulse welded for an additional cost. Signal Reference Grids are available with a continuous perimeter wire or with extended grid conductors for making connections to additional grids.
