STEP 1
SAN-EARTH M5C may also be installed vertically if space is limited and soil resistivities allow reaching the required resistance to ground. In this type of installation a vertical hole 4 or 5 inches in diameter is bored into the soil (or rock). The depth of the hole is determined through calculations using the soil resistivity measured at the site.
STEP 2
Water that may have accumulated in the bottom of the hole is pumped out and a conductor copper rod is placed into the center.
STEP 3
A slurry or mortar is prepared by mixing SAN-EARTH M5C with water and this mixture is poured into the hole to surround the grounding conductor. This process results in an electrode which not only is four inches in diameter but also makes ideal contact with the surrounding soil.
