Portable Earthing - UK Power Networks (EDF Energy)
United Utilities, Central Networks, Scottish Power Energy Networks
Western Power Distribution - DNO Approved
CATU Electrical design and customise Portable Earthing & Short Circuiting Kits to suit low, high and extra high voltage earthing applications with consideration to dimensions between points to be earthed, enclosed plant or limited working access, equipment fault level and short circuit rating of earthing system required - fill out and return the Checklist download below.
Portable Earthing & Short Circuiting Kits are available with a choice of earth clamps for both live-end and earth-end, jumper clamps for low voltage switchboards and overhead line clamps.
Portable Earthing equipment for high voltage electricity networks provides safe and reliable earth clamping where connections are to be made to dirty or heavily oxidised copper or aluminium busbars or stubs : this includes portable earthing systems for 33kV, 66kV, 132kV, 275kV and 400kV.

Portable Earthing for High Voltage Overhead Lines
Portable earthing kits provide safe and secure clamping on extra high voltage overhead distribution lines during maintenance or erection.
High voltage (HV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) earth-end and line-end clamps are manufactured from aluminium and manoeuvred by CATU CM-6 insulating sticks to IEC60855 standard - CM-6 insulated sticks allow working distances for portable earthing in a 2 to 6 metre range.
HV and EHV earth clamps suit 5-120mm diameter copper or aluminium conductor clamping with a test current of 40 kA/1s.
Flexible portable earthing leads (copper and aluminium) are available as 70sqmm, 95sqmm, 120sqmm or 150sqmm insulated with transparent PVC sheath.
