Copper earth bars provide a convenient common earthing point for electrical installations that require an earthing and lightning protection system, so why not send your earth bar enquiries to a company that has given blood, sweat (and a lot of) tears to a piece of software that truly breaks new ground in the world of earth bars.
Below is a 30-second video that shows the new Wallis Earth Bar Software (WEBS) creating:
·        A 6-way earth bar
·        Adding 2 disconnecting links
·        Increasing the bar size from 50x6mm to 75x6mm
·        Changing material of the hard-drawn plain copper bar to hard-drawn tinned copper bar
·        Changing the base from Black PVC to Galvanised Steel to just feet
All topped off with a nice twirl at the end to give you a full 360-degree view of the earth bar.
This video only scrapes the surface of what this software can produce, and it is worth mentioning again that the below earth bar and its variations were completed well within 30 seconds! Ready to be sent to our customer for their approval. This is an internal piece of software that is used by AN Wallis staff daily to send the drawings that this software can produce for approval.
Send your earth bar challenge to Thorne & Derrick and let us amaze you with a full plan and side view upon completion along with an instant quote for your earth bar.

Earth Bar | Design & Specification & Manufacture Service
Pictured | Last month this project required 3 batches of 14 units of an earth bar with 18-way termination points and twin disconnection links for an OEM application in the industrial noise control sector. AN Wallis WEBS software was utilised to generate the above graphic concept of the finished manufactured earth bar. You can download the earth bar file here.
