SAN-EARTH vs. Bare Copper Wire – Impedance

Test Site Soil Conditions

Depth 0.2 m 1.72 m 4.3 m 6.88 m 20 m
Resistivity at indicated depth 306 Ω-m 382 Ω-m 186 Ω-m 161 Ω-m 47 Ω-m
Ave. resistivity to indicated depth 306 Ω-m 372 Ω-m 232 Ω-m 332 Ω-m 237 Ω-m

  • Surge impedance is reduced by more than 50%.
  • The surge impedance of the SAN-EARTH electrode was particularly low during the first critical 0-0.1 µsec of the surge.
  • Fast response provides enhanced protection for sensitive equipment.
  • Significant advantage over other grounding methods.
