ABB Furse LK243 Earth Bars

LK243 earth bars efficiently and conveniently provide a common earth point, and integral disconnecting links allow easy isolation for testing purposes. Available in various lengths, in copper or tinned copper bars with M10 stainless steel termination fixings.

Features & Benefits

• Unlike the traditional galvanised steel channel, the plastic channel base is highly corrosion-resistant and made from high-impact uPVC.
• Using a modern polymer channel base has reduced the weight of the products, making them lighter and easier to handle.
• The hard-drawn, high-conductivity copper earth bars are available in either bright copper or tin-plated finish.

Application

Standard Furse earth bars are available in a variety of lengths, but all consist of a 50 mm wide by 6 mm thick copper or tinned copper bar with M10 stainless steel termination screws – standard product codes are provided.

Standard copper or tinned copper earth bars meet the majority of applications. However, when a customer has a specific requirement, we can design and manufacture special earth bars and disconnecting links. Special earth bar designs are provided for customer review and approval before manufacture.

Special earth bar design variables include:

• Size and type of bolt, hex nut and washer
• Length, width and thickness of earth bar
• Number of disconnecting links and their position
• Number of insulators
• Supplied with mounting base or without
