Abstract :
This paper describes a horizontal earthing electrode consisting of graphite cement encasing a counterpoise wire. The ground bed electrode offers improved grounding and electrical protection to telecommunication facilities. Its substantial horizontal length and large cross section allow the ground bed to quickly and efficiently disperse lightning currents over a wide area around the site.
