Storm Copper Components, leading manufacturer of ground bars and connectors for electrical grounding now offers 6″ grounding bars with optional mounting kits that raise the industry standard from what has been historically a 4″ bar.
Based on input from professionals attending the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) conference, Storm introduced UL-listed 6″ solid cold-drawn copper ground bars as a better means to divert maximum current associated with lightning strikes common to communication towers and antenna installations. The 6″ ground bars also offer a big advantage in space for an increased number of cable attachments. Four-color illustrations are available online in lengths ranging from 6″ x 12″ to 6″ x 48″ with numerous drilled and slotted-hole configurations.
At the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) conference, Storm representatives kept getting comments from tower installation professionals, stating they had a serious need for grounding bars with expanded capacity, which could accommodate more cable terminations. Storm Copper prides itself on is the ability to respond to special needs or requests from customers. Very shortly after the conference, Storm introduced a new grounding bar and optional kit that is well on its way to raising the industry standard from what has been historically a 4” bar.
