Product Description

The SAFESTEP EPZ GROUNDING GRATES is a one-piece galvanized steel grate used to create a safe equipotential bonded and grounded work zone. This zone then protects crews from step-potential and Grade 5 fault currents. SAFESTEP EPZ GROUNDING GRATES are positioned on the ground then bonded together with 4/o copper cables and 2-hole lug connectors, creating an equipotential zone for puller/tensioner sites, and portable substations.

WHAT IS AN EQUIPOTENTIAL ZONE?

An equipotential zone is a work zone in which the worker is protected from electric shock from differences in electric potential between objects in the work area. These differences in potential can be caused by induced voltage, line re-energization, or lightning. The worker on an equipotential mat is protected from electric shock because there is a near-identical state of electrical potential between any two points on the body.
