Kingsmill Lattice Copper Earth Mats are used where step potential could cause problems, they are a lower cost option to a Solid Copper Earth Plate and when used with Bentonite earthing compound, they provide a long lasting earth solution. Copper earth mats are generally used as an electrode where significant amounts of fault current can be encountered.
