Grounding
Traditional grounding methods can be ineffective in high stress situations like a lightning event. LEC has engineered low-impedance grounding systems that provide effective grounding that doesn’t fail when high-intensity lightning strikes. All grounding is part of LEC’s Lightning Solutions line; contact us for your Integrated Lightning Solution.
Retractable Grounding Assembly (RGA)
The RGA is the most reliable low-impedance grounding solution for floating roof tanks. The award winning RGA overcomes the problems that face most other floating roof tank grounding systems. Learn more about the RGA
Chem-Rod®
The Chem-Rod grounding rod has the lowest impedance of any of the grounding electrodes. Learn more about the Chem-Rod®. Ground Augmentation Fill is one of the key components that makes the Chem-Rod so. It is specifically mixed to condition the ground to ensure the best grounding connection possible. Learn More about GAF.
Ground Test Options
Ground systems can degrade over time; ground resistance testing helps companies assess their existing system. LEC recommends ground resistance tests and/or ground impedance tests be performed in conjunction with Consulting.
Smart Ground Meter System
Smart Ground Testing utilizes a new type of grounding meter that collects the most precise information about existing grounding systems. The test evaluates your ground effectiveness at a variety of frequencies. Smart ground is only available as a consulting service, recommended for large facilities. Learn more about Smart Ground.
Traditional Ground Resistance Test Meters
Ground meters test existing grounding systems to improve system performance through repairs and upgrading. These meters tend to be less precise than Smart Ground testing but they are also less expensive, recommended for small sites. Learn more about ground test meters.
