ABC and Bare Wire Earthing Kit

The kit consists of an earth truss with 5 x 25mm² copper earth leads joined using a terminal plate housed in a black plastic cover. Each end of the earth truss has a pipe connector with a rubber hand guard, which terminates in a female bayonet fitting. When being used on LV ABC the single 1m lead connects onto the earth/neutral ABC wire via a male bayonet pipe fitting connected by an IPC.

The 3 wedge clamps are also attached to the earth truss by a pipe connector with a male bayonet fitting. The black rubber handles enable a positive means of connection and disconnection of the wedge clamps on and off the fork of the fuse contact in the pole box. Note, one earth leg is left free when used on ABC conductor.

The bayonet fitting allows the replacement of the wedge type earth clamps with the screw type duckbill clamps for use on bare wire low voltage lines using 4 legs as a shorting kit or 5 legs where earthing of street lighting wire is required. An additional lead with pipe connector and duckbill clamp is available for use on bare wire LV systems where an additional earth wire is installed.

The complete kit is provided with a stuff sack with internal pockets to neatly store individual components. This kit has been independently short circuit tested in accordance of the requirements of IEC 61230:2008.
