San-Earth M5C is manufactured in accordance with Sankosha’s ISO 9001 Quality Standards and conforms to IEC Standard 62561-7 which specifies the requirements and test for earthing enhancing compounds producing low resistance of an earth termination system. SAN-EARTH® M5C is a fine powder packaged in 25 kg (55 lb) bags which provides an environmentally safe long term solution to many grounding problems.

SAN-EARTH M5C grounding electrodes are easily installed by spreading the dry powder in a strip over and around a conductor in a horizontal trench. When the trench is refilled SAN-EARTH M5C absorbs moisture from the surrounding soil and hardens to become part of the grounding electrode. The surface area of the electrode is thus dramatically increased and resistance to ground is substantially reduced. In addition, surge impedance is also lowered significantly. This feature of SAN-EARTH electrodes has a positive impact on both equipment performance and personnel safety.
