Earthing cables
Safe lightning protection and electrical safety
Mastertec earthing cables play a central role in lightning protection and the electrical safety of buildings and systems, as they safely discharge dangerous overvoltages to earth and thus prevent damage to electrical systems, devices and the building structure. Professional earthing not only protects technical installations, but also increases the safety of people.
Depending on the area of application, earthing cables are made of various materials such as copper, galvanized steel or stainless steel. These materials offer high conductivity, corrosion resistance and durability, making them particularly suitable for long-term use. Copper cables are particularly efficient as they minimize electrical resistance and enable optimum dissipation of overvoltages. Galvanized steel, on the other hand, is often used in economical solutions, while stainless steel is ideal in environments where there is a risk of corrosion.
Depending on the requirements, earthing cables are installed either as foundation earth electrodes, deep earth electrodes or ring earth electrodes, with each system offering specific advantages. Precise planning and compliance with relevant standards are crucial to ensure optimum function and safety. Professional earthing systems protect buildings from dangerous lightning surges and reduce the risk of electrical damage so that your system functions reliably.
In addition to lightning protection systems, earthing cables are also essential for photovoltaic systems, transformer stations and industrial systems, as they ensure the safe discharge of electrical currents and prevent the failure of sensitive technology.
Therefore, opt for high-quality earthing cables to ensure long-term safety and standard-compliant protection. Our products meet the highest quality standards and can be flexibly integrated into existing lightning protection systems. Protect your system with a reliable earthing solution and minimize the risks of overvoltage.
MASTERTEC galvanized earthing strap

Designation | Art. No. | Meter/piece | weight |
---|---|---|---|
Galvanized flat earthing strap | 57448 | 30 m roll | 25 kg |
The galvanized earthing strip, or foundation earth electrode, is typically made of flat or round steel. It is embedded in the outer wall or floor slab of the house to enhance protection against electric shocks. The earthing strap must be electrically connected to the reinforcement every 2 meters and linked to the earth at multiple points.
