50sqmm Arctic Orange Field Drain Earth

The PBwel range of Drain Earths & Earthing Leads and electrical safety equipment for the Electricity Transmission and Distribution sector are renowned within the industry and are suitable for temporary earthing of transmission line conductors within the range 132kV, 275kV and 400kV high voltage ranges.

The Transmission Line range of portable earthing equipment is designed with ultimate strength, well in excess of normal working loads, and all designs are type tested.

The PBwel 50sqmm Arctic Orange Field Drain Earths are created by multi-stranded pure aluminium and are available to any lengths required. With short circuit rating of 8.9kA/s, continued current rating of 150A and weight per metre of 190g.


Earthing Leads

The earthing product range for Transmission Lines includes field earths, operating poles, sparrow plates, running earths and Electrical Safety Equipment including arc flash clothing.

A Drain Earth is a fixed or portable earthing device applied for the purpose of protection against voltages, impressed voltages or inadvertent backfeed.

All earth leads are electrically tested and visually inspected before being labelled with a unique identification number for full trace-ability before leaving our premises.


Aluflex Earthing Leads

PBwel Aluflex earthing leads are produced from multi-stranded, commercially pure aluminium wrapped with a layer of P.T.P. tape and covered with an extruded transparent PVC sheath.

Flexible clear PVC stress-relieving sleeves are fitted to prevent excessive wear around the compression joints. The earth end to line end clamp interconnecting lead has a 50sq mm nominal section area, terminated by PB50F type ferrule terminations.

Earth bonds are of a 120sqmm nominal section area terminated by PB120F palm type terminations. Flexible clear PVC stress-relieving sleeves are fitted to prevent excessive wear around the compression joints.
