Zinc Grounding Cells

Passive AC grounding across insulating joints

Sealed zinc grounding cells fitted across insulating joints and between structures. They provide a low impedance path for AC fault current and lightning surge while maintaining DC isolation, with no electronics to fail and no maintenance requirement.

Specifications shown are indicative. Final ratings, sizes and materials are confirmed against your technical specification and the CP design calculation at enquiry stage.

Typical Applications

  • Insulating joint protection on city gas and transmission networks
  • AC interference mitigation on pipelines parallel to power lines
  • Lightning protection at valve stations and CP stations
  • Passive alternative where a solid state decoupler is not preferred

Supply only, or supply with installation?

We quote for both. Installation by the same team that supplied the material keeps responsibility with a single agency.
