Section 1
Grounding Components

Enhanced Ground Rods
What is an Enhanced Ground Rod?
Simply put, an Enhanced Ground Rod is a
conductive hollow tube ground rod, usually
manufactured from 300 stainless steel or
copper. They contain special hygroscopic,
electrolytic salts. These salts form a saline
solution by absorbing moisture out of the
atmosphere. This saline solution leaches out
of the bottom of the rod, which gradually
lowers resistivity of the surrounding soil,
forming "electrolytic roots" over time.
The salt mixture is critical. Harger utilizes a
special combination of Magnesium Sulfate
and Calcium Chloride. Calcium Chloride is
an “active” salt, which continually draws
moisture out of the air and forms the
solution. Many other providers of this type
of electrode utilize salts such as sodium
chloride, some even use common water
softener pellets. These salts do not draw
moisture out of the air, they must be
activated by adding water. This may lower
resistivity initially, however, unless water
is continually added, the salts dry out over
time and resistivity of the electrode goes
back up.

Horizontal

6" DIA. MIN.

Vertical
To increase the efficacy of the Enhanced Ground
Rod, a very low resistance ground enhancement
material is placed around the rod. Harger proudly
uses Ultrafill; an ultra-low resistance carbon
based material.
Harger exothermically attaches a conductor of
your choice to the enhanced ground rod. This
conductor is called the tail. The tail direction is
very important. Harger provides a design which
allows the current, either lightning or electrical
fault, to maintain a downward sloping path to
ground. Most manufacturers utilize a design
which forces lightning to go “uphill” before
reaching the ground rod. Some manufactures
claim a superior “x” design. Although at first this
sounds good, it causes the contractor to make
twice as many connections, thus increasing the
cost of installation.

Harger offers two basic styles, vertical and horizontal (L-shaped). We also offer a variety of lengths,
sectionals and different kits to meet your specific requirements.

Ultrafill - Earth (Ground) Enhancement Material
Section 1
Grounding Components

Ultrafill is a low resistance carbon based backfill material, which
dramatically lowers ground system resistance in difficult soil situations.
Ultrafill contains no bentonite or concrete components, which, in very
dry conditions, can cause shrinkage around the ground electrode, thus
rendering it ineffective.
Ultrafill is ideal for use in rocky soil, sand, gravel or any other high
resistance soil conditions. It is also the ideal backfill material for use
around enhanced ground rods and ground grid systems.
Ultrafill is easy to use, safe and effective. Unlike other backfill products,
Ultrafill is relatively dust free and does not require mixing in water prior
to installation.
Ultrafill may be wither used in a horzontal trench or grid, or in vertical
applications. Ultrafill is available in 25 and 50 pound coated woven
polypropylene bags.

For example, placing a 5/8" x 10' ground rod in
a 4" hole would require 30 pounds of Ultrafill.
(3.0 x 10 = 30 pounds)

Horizontal Applications:

Pour enough Ultrafill to cover
bottom of trench. Place the
ground electrode into trench.
Pour in additional Ultrafill to cover
electrode to the desired depth.

Liquid Mixing Instructions:
To mix Ultrafill into a slurry for pumping applications, use the
following formula:
6 parts water
1 part bentonite
1 part Ultrafill.

Section 1.6.1

Supplementary Bonding Grids
Section 1
Grounding Components

Today's electronic environments require specialized grounding applications. Understanding
higher frequency grounds, equipotential ground planes and supplementary bonding subsystems
are imperative to protecting sophisticated equipment systems. Harger offers the knowledge and
products required to protect these delicate systems. Signal Reference Grids (SRG) are also known
as Supplementary Bonding Grids.
Listed 467
Note: The SRG acronym will not change.

DEFINITIONS*:

• Equipotential Plane: A grid, sheet, mass, or masses of conducting material which, when bonded
together, offers a negligible impedance to current flow. (Serves as signal reference subsystem for
new facilities.)
• Higher Frequency Ground: The interconnected metallic network intended to serve as a common
reference for currents and voltages at frequencies above 30 kHz and in some cases above 300 kHz.
Pulse and digital signals with rise and fall times of less than 1 microsecond are classified as higher
frequency signals.
• Signal Reference Subsystem: A conductive sheet or cable network/mesh providing an
equipotential reference for C-E equipments to minimize interference and noise.

Section 1
Grounding Components

Flat Strip Supplementary Bonding Grids
Harger's Flat Strip Supplementary Bonding Grids are manufactured from 2" wide x 26 gauge soft copper
strip. They are welded together forming a 2' x 2' pattern. Rolls of SRG range from 2' to 18' wide and the
weight per roll is usually limited to a maximum of 250 pounds. The following page offers a design guide to
help determine what part numbers are required for the flat strip system. Signal Reference Grids (SRG) are also
known as Mesh-BN’s, System Reference Potential Planes (SRPP) and Supplementary Bonding Grids.
Note: The SRG acronym will not change.

APPLICATION NOTES:

Listed 467

The grid lies directly on the subfloor that supports the raised
floor. It may or may not be glued or fastened down. "Power and
data cables lay on the grid. The advantage of this geometry is that,
due to decreased open loop area, the coupling of radiated energy
from far-field phenomena into the cables is minimized when they
are very close to the copper strips that form the signal reference
grid. The higher capacitance between the cables and the signal
reference grid also increases the protected circuit's noise immunity
to electric fields. Minimum spacing between the cables and the signal
reference grid also reduces susceptibility to magnetic fields. Both of
these are near-field effects.
A possible disadvantage of this form of signal reference grid is the
requirement for longer bonding straps as compared to the raised
floor-based signal reference. Two bonding straps (of different
lengths) to each piece of equipment substantially reduces the
impedance of the strap."*

Pedestal Bonding to SRG
Connect pedestals per specification, typically every 6th in each direction, to the SRG using #6 AWG 7 strand
copper cable. The cable should take the shortest path between the pedestal and the SRG. The length of the wire
should not exceed 2 feet. The bond wire can either be exothermically welded to the pedestal (preferred method)
or mechanically attached using a UL Listed Pedestal Ground Clamp (see page 94).

UL Listed Prefabricated Copper Ground Mesh
Prefabricated wire mesh is a simple cost effective method of enhancing ground systems.
Applications include improving the ground plane at telecommunications and radio transmitting/
receiving facilities and reducing step and touch potentials at power plants and substations. Mesh is
also used where ground rods are impossible to drive or are ineffective because of soil conditions.
Wire mesh is manufactured from solid copper or copper clad steel wire, ranging from #10 AWG
to #4 AWG. Normal spacing between conductors is 4", 6", 8", 12", 24" and 48". All joints are silver
brazed ensuring excellent electrical continuity, corrosion resistance and superior strength.

You need to first do the calculation for the net weight in order to calculate the gross shipping weight.
To Calculate Net Weight
g : Net Weight = Width (ft.) x Length (ft.) x Table Value (lb/ft2)
To Calculate Gross Shipping
pp g Weight
g : Gross Weight = Net Weight + [3.38 x (Mesh Width (ft.) + 1 (ft.))]
Example: 10' x 100', #6 Cu Wire Type, 6" x 6" Cell Size, from table 0.328 (lb/ft2)
Net Weight = 10 x 100 x 0.328 = 328 lbs.
Gross Weight = 328 + [3.38 x (10 + 1)] = 365 lbs.

Bonding Jumper Numbering System
Bonding jumpers are constructed from round conductors, insulated or bare. Available with one or two
hole compression lugs. Harger offers a variety of lengths and styles. Customizing your own jumper is
simple with Harger's bonding jumper numbering system. To design your own custom bonding jumper
simply follow the steps outlined below. The following example is a #6-7 AWG green conductor, 6"
long with 2 hole compression lugs that have 5/8" O.C. spacing between 1/4" bolt holes.

APPLICATION NOTES:

• It is imperative to properly prepare the bonding surface before applying the bonding lug or plate. All
paint, rust, moisture and debris must be removed. The use of a rasp (see page 326) or grinding tool is
recommended to ensure all surface oxidants have been removed. Generously coat the bonding surface
with the appropriate antioxidant (see page 148), then install the bonding lug or plate.

(A) Performance. The equipotential bonding required by this section shall be installed to reduce voltage
gradients in the pool area.
(B) Bonded Parts. The parts specified in 680.26(B)(1) through (B)(7) shall be bonded together using solid
copper conductors, insulated covered, or bare, not smaller than 8 AWG or with rigid metal conduit of brass or
other identified corrosion-resistant metal. Connections to bonded parts shall be made in accordance with 250.8. An
8 AWG or larger solid copper bonding conductor provided to reduce voltage gradients in the pool area shall not be
required to be extended or attached to remote panelboards, service equipment, or electrodes.
(1) Conductive Pool Shells. Bonding to conductive pool shells shall be provided as specified in 680.26(B)(1)(a)
or (B)(1)(b). Poured concrete, pneumatically applied or sprayed concrete, and concrete block with painted or
plastered coatings shall all be considered conductive materials due to water permeability and porosity. Vinyl liners
and fiberglass composite shells shall be considered to be nonconductive materials.
(a) Structural Reinforcing Steel. Unencapsulated structural reinforcing steel shall be bonded together by steel
tie wires or the equivalent. Where structural reinforcing steel is encapsulated in a nonconductive compound,
a copper conductor grid shall be installed in accordance with 680.26(B)(1)(b).
(b) Copper Conductor Grid. A copper conductor grid shall be provided and shall comply with (b)(1)
through (b)(4).
(1) Be constructed of minimum 8 AWG bare solid copper conductors bonded to each other at all points of
crossing. The bonding shall be in accordance with 250.89 or approved means.
(2) Conform to the contour of the pool and the pool deck.
(3) Be arranged in a 300 mm (12 in.) by 300 mm (12 in.) network of conductors in a uniformly spaced
perpendicular grid pattern with a tolerance of 100 mm (4 in.).
(4) Be secured within or under the pool no more than 150 mm (6 in.) from the outer contour of the pool shell.

exothermic connection may solve this problem. Another solution
would be to use a smaller conductor such as a #2 awg jumper
which uses a smaller size weld metal. The last solution may be to
use mechanical fence clamp assembly such as the ones found in
Section 1.11 on page 133.

Section 4
Ground Testing Equipment

An Introduction to Ground Testing by Megger®
Before performing a ground test, it
is advisable to develop a working
familiarity with two important concepts:
how the tester accomplishes the
measurement and what the operator
must do to assure a proper test.
Choose the Proper Instruments
The first consideration is helpful in
the selection of an instrument and the
fundamental application of the test.
Ground tests are frequently attempted
with a variety of ohmmeters that
happen to be conveniently at hand.
This practice is doubly damaging
because it may result in an incorrect
measurement that is accepted by the
operator.
Two-point measurement with a
multimeter will give a loop resistance
of the circuit that is defined by the
arbitrary points of connection, and
this will include in its path the soil
between those points. But, so what?
This is not necessarily an indication
of the electrical condition that the
ground electrode has established with
the surrounding soil. Furthermore,
the measurement itself can be made
inaccurate by the influence of transient
currents that travel in the soil from a
variety of sources.
Understand the Test
To perform a ground test, a dedicated
ground tester, not a generalized
ohmmeter or multimeter, is requisite.
The manner in which the ground tester
uniquely accomplishes its purpose
is diagrammed in the accompanying
simplified schematic. Its operation is
similar to, but in a sense opposite,
that of the familiar Megger® Insulation
Tester.

of utility power, through the soil to the ground under test. It is only this current that
contributes to the measurement, leaving interfering transients out. Likewise, the voltage
probe enables measurement of the drop over the soil to its critical point of placement.
Both circuits are completed by connection of a second pair of terminals (or a common in
the case of three-terminal testers) to the ground under test. (See Figure 1.)
Understand the Test Environment
Providing the most applicable and highest quality tester, however, is only the first part of
the operator’s responsibility. No ground tester can perform a successful test all by itself
since a ground test is never routine. The operator’s knowledge and skill must always be
an essential element of a proper test.
The proper placement of the probes is critical and defies standardization of procedure.
A degree of trial and error cannot be avoided, because the earth is not a defined circuit,
like a piece of equipment. The experience and ability of the operator are valuable in
reducing this process to an efficient level, and no instrument can substitute for this
factor.
The resistance environment with which the ground electrode is surrounded, whether it
be a single rod or complex grid, is determined by a critical volume of soil. This volume
may be thought of as an area of electrical field influence around the electrode. It has at
the same time both a fixed nature, determined by soil type, structure of the electrode,
electrical demands upon it and other factors, and a variable component, determined by
transient factors like moisture and temperature.
Put simply, this entire critical volume must be measured, for it is what influences the
flow of fault current from the ground electrode into the earth. For the proper volume
to be measured, probes must be sufficiently spaced. Only the operator’s knowledge
can accomplish this placement properly and efficiently. Because soil conditions are
never precisely the same, there is no set method to predict spacing in advance, and no
instrument design can eliminate the operator.
Space the Probes Properly
If the potential probe is too close, measurements are taken within the electrode’s sphere
of influence, and different readings would be obtained with other placements. Indeed,
a quality tester will give an accurate measurement to that point, but it is not taking into
account all the resistance that a fault current will meet.

The instrument uses two precise
measuring circuits (voltage and
current), and combines the values
through Ohm’s Law to give the desired
measurement (resistance).
The two test circuits are established
through the soil by strategic placement
of probes, attached via leads to their
respective terminals. The current
terminal, lead, and probe set up a
test current of a unique, square wave
frequency, apart from the harmonics

Section 4.1

With adequate spacing, however,
the potential probe will make its
measurement beyond the boundary
of maximum resistance exerted by the
field influence of the ground electrode,
in an area where additional distance
does not contribute significantly to
the tested electrode’s resistance, and
measurements will be reasonably
stable. This uniformity of measurement
will persist with increasing distance until
the sphere of influence of the current
probe is entered. This is the method
that is referred to as Fall of Potential
(also called the “three-point method,”
in reference to the three points of soil
contact established by the electrode
under test and the two probes). It is
the method described by IEEE Standard
#81 as the recognized basis for earth
testing in the U.S. (See Figure 4.)
Conclusion
Simplified methods have been
developed from the full Fall of Potential
concept, and their descriptions are
readily available in the literature. These
various methods take advantage of
simplifications of the calculus associated
with a typical Fall of Potential graph to
provide quick and easy mathematical
tests that will throw out the results of
tests made with inadequate setups,
and accept only those results that are
accurate and reliable measurements.

Section 4
Ground Testing Equipment

This is what happens when shortcut
two-point tests are made. (See
Figure 2.) If the current probe is too
close, its electrical field will overlap
that of the ground electrode, and
the potential probe will find itself
making measurements in an electrical
environment of conflicting influences.
(See Figure 3.)

Figure 2: Insufficient spacing of potential probe

Figure 3: Insufficient spacing of current probe

Familiarization is necessary for the
proper conduct of earth tests, and with
this familiarization, the knowledgeable
operator can reduce trial and error, and
indeed the work itself, to minimal levels.

Section 4
Ground Testing Equipment

TESTING LARGE SYSTEMS
Large ground systems are an
important part of the protection of
the electricity supply network. They
ensure that fault current will enable
protective devices to operate correctly.
A substation must have a low ground
resistance to reduce excessive
voltages developing during a fault
which could endanger safety of nearby
people or animals.
In order to obtain a low enough value
of ground resistance, ground systems
may consist of an earth mat covering
a large area or many interconnected
rods. Suitable test techniques must
be used for large systems to ensure
that valid readings are obtained. This
is unlike a small single electrode (i.e.,
a lightning conductor or domestic
ground) which can be simple to test.
Fall of Potential Testing
For single electrode grounds, such
as domestic grounds and lightning
conductors, the influence on the
surrounding soil is limited and current
test spikes can be quite close (typically
30 to 60 ft.) to the electrode under
test. It is usually quite easy to find a
flat portion of the ground resistance
curve which should be close to the
resistance of the electrode.
Testing several points or drawing up
a curve will help the understanding
of the area around the electrode. It is
always best to check results by using a
different direction or a longer distance
to the test spikes. This will help to
eliminate errors caused by nearby
buried conductors and other parts of
the electrical system interfering with
the results.
The Slope Method
This method enables measurement
of a large ground system without
finding the flat portion of the
characteristic curve. This can reduce
the test distances and, in addition, the
electrical center of the ground system
is not required for measurement, few
calculations are necessary and the
result can easily be checked giving
added confidence to the test.

252

The Slope Method involves taking three readings at 20%, 40% and 60% to the
current spike distance. The differences between these readings are used to fit to a
mathematical model of the resistance characteristic. The coefficient of slope, , is
calculated from:
 = (R60 - R40) / (R
R40 - R20)
As with all ground testing, it is best to check the results by plotting the full
characteristic and repeating the test using a different direction for the test spikes or a
larger distance to the current electrode.
Large Ground Systems
The physically large areas used by ground systems such as those in substations and
power stations result in large “resistance areas” and consequently large distances to
the test spikes. This can typically give a value of resistance to earth of less than 0.5 Ω
allowing a good path for the large prospective fault current.
The distance to the current electrode should be ten times the maximum dimension of
the ground system. For a single, 6 ft. long electrode this is not usually a problem with
a remote test spike at 60 ft. However, this may be impractical for a substation with a
300 ft. square ground mat. A current electrode is required approximately 3,000 ft. from
the site. In cases like these, a measuring technique such as the slope method can be
used. This reduces the length of cable runs and is less likely to overlap with other local
ground systems which may interfere with the result.
Increase the Resolution
The Megger® DET2/2 is ideal for measuring large ground systems including substation
ground mats, power station grounding and communication systems. When measuring
ground resistance of less than 1 , the 1 m resolution allows real readings to be
made without instrument errors overwhelming the results.
Using either the Fall of Potential Method or the Slope Method on large systems, means
that small differences between low readings are required. The extra digit of resolution
makes these variations more accurate and suitable for use with the reference tables
commonly available in engineering manuals.
Noise Interference
High noise interference rejection allows ground resistance readings to be made even
in the presence of induced noise. A small test signal has to be retrieved from a much
larger total signal.
To remove the effect of noise from a ground test, a frequency of 128 Hz is often
used. This is close enough to line frequency to give a result that can be used to make
calculations of ground fault current. This frequency avoids harmonics of the standard
line frequencies to allow filtering of the test signal. A filter can then remove the 50 or
60 Hz interference from the total signal.
Many ground testers can only reject noise of a single frequency. This may be
acceptable in a laboratory but is inadequate for most real situations. Electrical networks
contain noise consisting of the fundamental frequency of the supply and its harmonics
plus high frequency noise from switching etc., and induced signals from other sources.
In generic ground testers, this type of interference can cause significant measurement
errors without alerting the user. Such instruments cannot reject the noise even though
it is insufficient to trigger a high noise indicator.
Sometimes electrical noise may be short term and testing can be delayed until the
noise has decreased, for example, a passing train when testing a railway system.
However, in most cases background noise cannot be removed and so a suitable
instrument specification is required.

The Megger® DET2/2 uses a
sophisticated filtering system that
can reject more noise than any
other earth tester available. Test
frequency adjustment and selectable
levels of noise filtering also help to
remove stray noise that could affect
the reading. A high current range
increases the test signal strength in
comparison with the noise.
In extreme cases it may still be
necessary to carry out the test when
the noise has decreased. However,
the DET2/2 can keep going at higher
resolutions long after other earth
testers have given up.
Conclusion
The latest generation of digital ground
testers greatly simplify the testing of
electrical ground systems. However,
care is still needed interpreting the
results. Error indicators can alert
the user to misconnected leads or
conditions that may lead to an invalid
reading but simply taking one reading
is not sufficient to measure the
resistance of any ground electrode.
It is always best to repeat a ground
test using a different direction or
distance to verify the results. This
may remove any errors from hidden
differences in the soil and increase
confidence in the results.

LAZY SPIKE METHOD
Certain field conditions such as asphalt preclude the use of driven ground rods when
attempting to test a ground system. In the past, the operator would have been
unable to make the required test. New technology has led to the development of the
“lazy spike” method of ground testing, an approach that allows for effective testing
even under these types of adverse conditions.
Lazy spike takes advantage of the exceptional resistance tolerances built into
the Megger® Ground Testers’ current and voltage circuits in order to provide the
operator with a means of dealing with the oft-encountered problem of no available
soil to make contact. The “spike” (contact probe) doesn’t have to break the surface
in order to take a valid measurement. Suppose the test is being performed in a
congested urban area, a sprawling parking lot, or an airport. Older-technology
testers used to require fairly high voltages and currents in order to operate. Contact
resistance with the surrounding soil posed a problem, and mandated a solidly driven
probe. With recent technology, however, sensitivities have improved so that mere
surface contact is frequently sufficient. And as could be expected, Megger models
offer the best capabilities on the market.
When making a measurement using the lazy spike method, simply lay the probes
on the surface at the normal distances. Pouring water on the probes will improve
the contact. Hook the leads to the probes and measure the resistance of the ground
electrode under test.
Now, suppose you have set up to test, say, lighting grounds on an expansive mall
parking lot. There is no soil surface nearby, so the contact probes are laid on the
surface and wetted down. Oops! The Megger Ground Tester’s convenient and
indispensable warning indicators light, informing the operator that insufficient
contact has been made. Is the opportunity lost? No! Simply substitute a coiled
metal chain for the straight spike, clip on the lead, and wet down the area.
Coiled metal chain provides an excellent surface contact for the conductance of
electrical current, and even better, it can be infinitely varied. Just add more length,
until contact resistance is brought within the tester’s already broad range, and the
warning indicators extinguish.
Proceed with the test! Megger’s top-of-the-line capabilities are amenable to the kind
of variety and flexibility that will keep you operating.

When selecting a ground tester, ensure
that the resolution and accuracy are
suitable for the application. Instrument
errors can lead to unnecessary
expense in the design or maintenance
of ground systems or, worse still,
unsafe installations.
Use a Megger® DET2/2 if testing low
values (<1 ), or in the presence of
induced noise. A high level of noise
filtering is required for accurate results
in real life situations.

SOIL RESISTIVITY TESTING (4 point method)
The most common method utilized for measuring soil resistivity is the Four Point Method using the equally spaced Wenner
Arrangement. This method is commonly referred to as the Four Pin Method. This method is the most accurate method in
practice for measuring the average soil resistivity of large volumes of earth. This method utilizes a specialized ground test
instrument that has a four-terminal arrangement. Small electrodes are driven into the earth, all at depth B and spaced (in a
straight line) at equal distance intervals A. The test current (I) is passed between the two outer electrodes (C1 and C2) and
the voltage (V) is measured between the two inner electrodes (P1 and P2). The instrument knowing the voltage and current
calculates the resistance from Ohms law (V/I) and gives the resistance (R) in ohms.

Four Point Method using Equally Spaced Pin Arrangement

The average soil resistivity  (ohm•cm) is calculated by the following formula where R is the resistance measured in ohms,
(A) is the pin spacing expressed in centimeters and (B) is the depth that the pins are inserted into the soil also expressed in
centimeters and π is the constant 3.1416.

(A and B in cm)
This soil resistivity () value is an indication of the average soil resistivity to a depth which is equal to the pin separation
distance (A). If the condition whereby the pin separation distance (A) is more than 20 times the pin depth (B) then the formula
for resistivity above can be simplified to the following:

(A in cm)
In practice pin separation distance A is measured in feet, so the following formula can be used to calculate the average soil
resistivity when A is expressed in feet. The constant takes into account the conversion from feet to centimeters.

(A in feet)

Megger® Ground Testing Equipment
High Sensitivity Ground Resistance Tester
The Megger® DET2/2 remains the line leader with its remarkable 40 V tolerance feature
and .001 resolution readings. In addition, the DET2/2 has matchless added capabilities
that make it virtually undefeatable in field testing in the worst electrical environments.
The features of the DET2/2 include an interference filter (on/off) and test current
control (high/low). But above all, the test current frequency is adjustable in half-Hertz
increments over the full range from 105 to 160 Hz. If soil transients are affecting the
measurement, a display annunciator alerts the user. The operator need only dial to a
different test frequency, away from the troublesome harmonic, while observing the
annunciator disappear and the reading stabilize.
The DET2/2 is ideal for testing complex
systems such as encountered in larger
substations or telecommunications
grounding systems.

When testing in extreme electrical environments around utility substations or heavy
industrials, the extra capabilities of the DET2/2 will quickly prove indispensable.

Three Terminal Ground Resistance Tester
The Three-Terminal Ground Resistance Tester is the economical choice for electrical
contractors, plant electricians, telephone and CATV technicians making routine
ground resistance tests on single electrodes and other simple grounding systems. The
instrument is easy to use for quick measurement of resistances from 0.5 to 500 ohms.
Designed for simplicity of use, the instrument is operated by a single three-position
switch to read the measurement, check the probe resistance and turn the instrument
off. Measurements are displayed directly in ohms; range changing, multipliers or
calibration adjustments are not necessary.

Section 5.2

Exothermic Process
Exothermic Process
The Exothermic Process is an effective and safe method of welding copper to copper or
copper to steel for the purpose of producing permanent electrical connections. Exothermically
welded connections are produced from the energy and molten copper metal liberated from an
exothermic reaction between powdered copper oxide and aluminum. The exothermic reaction
takes place at a theoretical temperature of 4600°F and as a result, molten copper alloy is
Section 5
Ultraweld® Exothermic Connections

created and used to melt the conductors and cast the finished connection. The exothermic
reaction takes place in a semi-permanent graphite mold that will last 50 or more welds if
properly cared for. The process is simple and easy to implement providing an on-site means to
make welded electrical connections without requiring external power, equipment or the special
training usually required for brazing and welding. The process will provide a finished connection
that will never corrode, loosen or increase in resistance. The finished connection also provides
an ampacity that exceeds that of the conductors being joined.

Low Smoke Molds
Harger Lightning & Grounding offers a line of Low Smoke Ultraweld molds for indoor use or
confined spaces. The process uses an integrated filter system along with a specially designed
mold. Standard UltraShot weld metal is used in the special mold to produce a finished
connection with minimal smoke emission.
•

To order Low Smoke Ultraweld molds, add the suffix "SX" to the desired mold part numbers.
T
Example: Ultraweld mold GD584/0B becomes GD584/0BSX
Please Note: Molds using US150 weld metal & larger will change the mold price
key. Example: Ultraweld mold RT4/04/0BSX becomes RT4/04/0CSX. See chart below.

See page 335 for pipe sizes.

NOTE:
Thin walled pipe may be unsuitable for exothermic connections. If experiencing burn through issues with the pipe (typically
with 2/0 or 4/0 conductors), adding sand inside the fence post well past the exothermic connection may solve this problem.
Another solution would be to use a smaller conductor such as a #2 awg jumper which uses a smaller size weld metal. The
last solution may be to use mechanical fence clamp assembly such as the ones found in Section 1.11 on page 133.

APPLICATION NOTES:

Ultraweld Connections Used
for Grounding Reinforcing Bars

Section 5
Ultraweld® Exothermic Connections

The Ultraweld process is ideal for providing permanent connections of grounding conductors
and lightning protection conductors to rebar. Exothermically welding to the rebar ensures that
the concrete encased connection will last the duration of the structure. To ensure that the
connection is made properly, the mill scale must be removed from the rebar in the area of the
connection. In addition to the normal materials used to make an Ultraweld connection, packing
material is also required. The packing material serves as a sealant barrier between the mold
and the rebar and thus prevents weld metal leakage. A piece of packing material is good for
one connection.

Ultraweld Connections to Structural
Reinforcing Bar
The Ultraweld process is only to be used for attaching conductors to rebar and not as a means
to provide a structural welded joint of the rebar itself. The welding of ground conductors to
rebar using the Ultraweld process will not be harmful if the stresses in the rebar are below its
yield point. Design stresses for rebar are normally below 60% of the nominal yield strength
thus Ultraweld exothermic welding process should not be detrimental under design stresses.
In practice it is best to make grounding attachments to rebar in areas away from the point of
maximum stress. It is best to make connections near the free end of the rebar.

Packing Material Notes
Packing Material or Wrap Sleeve(s)
are necessary when making Ultraweld
connections to Rebar. The two types of
material used are CERPM or WRPSLV.
CERPM Packing Material is a ceramic
fiber material and can be used for one
connection only. CERPM is packaged in
quantities of 25 per box.
WRPSLV Copper Wrap Sleeve is
wrapped around the rebar for certain
connection styles. WRPSLV is packaged in
quantities of 50 per box.
Be sure to specify Packing Material No.
when ordering Mold and Weld Metal. See
pages 325 & 326 for Packing Material.

APPLICATION NOTE:

Equipment ground plates are cast into concrete
structures to offer convenient connection points to
the ground system. The cast ground plates are made
from high quality copper alloy and are easily
exothermically welded to copper conductors. The
resulting connection has an ampacity that surpasses
that of the conductor or the stud.

NOTE:
Thin walled pipe may be unsuitable for exothermic connections. If
experiencing burn through issues with the pipe (typically with 2/0
or 4/0 conductors), adding sand inside the fence post well past the
exothermic connection may solve this problem. Another solution
would be to use a smaller conductor such as a #2 AWG jumper
which uses a smaller size weld metal. The last solution may be to
use mechanical fence clamp assembly such as the ones found in
Section 1.11, page 133.

Section 5
Ultraweld® Exothermic Connections

• Depending on the care and treatment of the mold, it will
average 50 or more welds. Substantially more with the
UltraShot process.
• The Ultraweld Low Smoke process uses an integrated
filter system on the mold and electric ignition of the weld
metal to produce a finished connection with minimal
smoke emission. Ideal for indoor and confined space
working conditions.
• For Ultraweld Low Smoke process, ignition is
accomplished with the use of a USCONTROLLER.
• Mold Handle not inluded.

Wear Plates
• Wear plates help extend the life of the mold.
• The openings of the mold get worn down due to forcing
a mold shut over "out of round" conductors, the ends of
conductors hitting and chipping the openings, etc.
• Wear plates can be supplied for all molds for cable sizes;
#2 Solid, 1/0 AWG through 500 MCM and Copperweld
cable 7/#10 through 19/#6.
• To order, add the suffix "WP" to the Ultraweld part
number. Example: RT-4/04/0B-WP

Lightning Risk Assessment

Harger Lightning & Grounding
is pleased to present the

Lightning
Risk Assessment
Guide
to Aid in the Determination of the
Need for Lightning Protection
(per NFPA 780 2011 Edition)
Section 6
Technical Assistance

For years, architects, engineers, building managers, owners, and insurance
carriers have been seeking a more professional method of evaluating the
need for lightning protection.
In the past, the decision to provide lightning protection was often based on
gambles and guesswork by well-meaning persons, not having specialized
training in lightning protection. Tragic and unnecessary losses have
occurred because of this approach.
Now, by use of this guide, you may make a more accurate determination
regarding the need for lightning protection. Once the need for protection
has been established, loss of life and property can be avoided by the
installation of an approved lightning protection system.
In those special cases where professional consultation or installation is
desired, Harger Lightning & Grounding stands ready to be of service.

Section 6.1
Lightning Risk Assessment
Lightning loss risk assessment involves the evaluation
of various criteria to determine the risk of loss due
to lightning. This guide is designed to assist in that
determination. As a guide, it is not possible to cover
each special design element that may render a
structure more or less susceptible to lightning damage.
In these special cases it is recommended the user seek
professional advice. Personal and economic factors are
very important and must be considered in addition to
the assessment obtained by use of this guide.
The probability that a structure or object will be struck
by lightning is the product of the equivalent collection
area of the structure or object and the lightning flash
density for the area that the structure is located.

This risk assessment method is a guide that takes into
account the lightning flash density and the following
factors:
1. Building environment
2. Type of construction
3. Structure occupancy
4. Structure contents
5. Lightning stroke consequences
Lightning risk for a structure is the product of the
lightning strike frequency and the consequence of the
strike to the structure.
Lightning Flash Density (Ng) - The yearly number of
flashes to ground per square kilometer, lightning flash
density, is found in Figure 1.

Section 6.1
Lightning Risk Assessment
Method:
Calculate and compare the expected Lightning Strike Frequency (Nd) for the facility to the Tolerable Lightning Strike
Frequency (Nc).

Step 1: Determination of Expected Lightning Strike Frequency (Nd)
Nd = Ng • Ae • C1 • 10-6
Where:
Nd = the expected yearly lightning strike frequency to the structure
Ng = the yearly average lightning flash density in the region where the structure is located (Determine value from
Figure 1)
Ae = the equivalent collection area (m2) of the structure (Determine from Figure 2)
C1 = the environmental coefficient (Determine value from Table 1)
Figure 2: Calculation of Equivalent Collection Volume (Ae)

Rectangular Structure

For a rectangular structure, Ae = LW + 6H(L + W) + π9H2.

Section 6.3
Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

Master Label Inspection Service
Harger Lightning & Grounding is a subscriber to the MASTER LABEL CERTIFICATE
PROGRAM of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) as well as to the Factory Inspection
Program for Lightning Protection Components.
Under the factory inspection service our lightning protection conductors and components
are regularly inspected and tested by UL representatives. Harger components bear the UL
label or listed mark depending on the type of component.
The Master Label Certificate is available for complete Lightning Protection System
installations that have been installed using only UL listed or labeled components in
accordance with the “Installation Requirements for Lightning Protection Systems”, UL96A.
Underwriters Laboratories is a not-for-profit organization engaged in testing for public
safety. It is THE ONLY third party testing and inspection service available to purchasers
of lightning protection systems that DOES NOT have direct industry involvement. It is not
involved in the marketing, manufacture, or installation of lightning protection systems
or components. Underwriters Laboratories has been active in the testing and inspection
of lightning protection components and systems since 1908. Their experience in the
safety testing field has earned them worldwide recognition and respect. UL is not a trade
organization with proprietary interests.

Section 6
Technical Assistance

Underwriters inspection service for the lightning protection industry involves two separate
inspection steps. A UL inspector inspects the lightning protection components and labels
are applied to conductors and air terminals at the factory. A UL representative then inspects
the installation of the completed lightning protection system The UL Master Label Certificate
will be issued within 48 hours of the completion of the inspection or after variances are
corrected. The UL Listed installer forwards the certificate to the owner, and can have the
certificate posted to the UL web site providing proof that the lightning protection system
is in compliance with UL Standards. Certificates must be renewed every five years which
requires another inspection by UL.
Information on the UL Master Label Lightning Protection Inspection Certificate Program can
be found at their web site http://www.ul.com/lightning/

b. SBG rolls shall be between 4 feet to 16 feet wide.
c. All field made connections to the signal reference grid (SBG), raised floor pedestals, building columns,
pipes and other metal items shall be made using the Ultraweld® Exothermic Welding Process.
d. The SBG sections shall be rolled on tubes with the outside of the roll protected for shipment.
e. SBG rolls shall be labeled on the ends for easy identification.

Part 3 – EXECUTION
3.01 General Installation
a. The installation shall be installed by a qualified, licensed electrical contractor.
3.02 SBG Installation
a. SBG sections shall be welded together using Ultraweld Mold SBG2016K with US32 Weld Metal and
MH-1 Handle Clamp. For smokeless version add Suffix “SX” to mold and weld metal part numbers. To
join sections together, overlap the outside strip of one section over the outside strip of the adjacent
section and weld together every two feet.
b. The SBG should be installed 6 inches to 18 inches from the outside walls to avoid interference with
pedestals. SBG does not have to be exactly centered between pedestals.
c. Whenever an obstruction is encountered, it is acceptable to cut the SBG to go around the obstruction
and splice connecting pieces of the SBG to suit.
Section 6
Technical Assistance

d. SBG squares should not line up between adjacent sections in a room or between rooms. Offset squares,
first in one direction, then the other. This prevents welds from lying on top of one another and minimizes
interference to pedestals.
e. The SBG does not have to be bonded to the floor in most circumstances. If any section does not lie flat,
pedestal mastic or other convenient means can be used to bond to the floor. Pedestal mastic should be
used to hold the SBG to the floor near high-speed air inlets. The mastic should not contain sulfur.
f. Do not use mastic until all SBG mats have been installed and all Ultraweld connections between mats
and all low impedance riser and pedestal connections have been made.
g. If a section of SBG is damaged, then repair with Mold SRG2016K with US32 Weld Metal and MH-1
Handle Clamp. For smokeless version add Suffix “SX” to mold and weld metal part numbers. It is
permissible to splice sections of copper strip to lengthen SBG conductors so they clear preexisting
objects on floor.
h. Use Low Impedance Riser (LIR) to connect each equipment enclosure to the SBG. Ultraweld Mold
SRG2016K with US32 Weld Metal and MH-1 Handle Clamp is used for this connection. For smokeless
version add Suffix “SX” to mold and weld metal part numbers.
i. LIR to be 26 gage x 2” x 72 copper strip, Part No.LIR72. Do not connect LIR risers to SBG strips closest
to outside walls. If possible, connect LIR no closer than the second SBG row away from outside walls of
room.

Section 6.9

Signal Reference Grid (SRG) Installation Instructions
These instructions are intended to ensure the proper installation of Harger Signal Reference Grids (SRG),
while saving time and money for the installer.
Receiving & Storage
1. Harger SRG rolls are shipped in closed trucks unless otherwise
specified. This usually requires a loading dock and a forklift truck
capable of unloading the SRG rolls.
2. Harger tries to limit SRG rolls to a weight of 250 pounds each.
3. SRG rolls are labeled on the ends. If you are storing the rolls
temporarily, make sure the marked ends are facing in the same
direction for easy identification.
4. Rolls should be checked against drawings and stacked so the first
rolls to be installed are the easiest ones to unstack.
5. Indoor storage is recommended.
6. Check your shipment against the shipping papers and installation
drawings to be sure the proper quantity has been received. Any discrepancies of any kind should be
brought to the attention of the carrier and your distributor.
7. Do not remove the roll protection until the roll is in place and ready to unroll.

1. Mark the location of pedestals on floor so they can be avoided with
the SRG strips.
2. Start in one corner of the room with the proper roll as identified on
the drawing. The pedestal spot should be approximately in center of
grid opening. This will normally be 12" from the wall.
3. Any obstructions, such as columns or existing obstacles, can be
handled in either of the following ways:
• Cut the SRG to fit around the obstruction.
• Place the SRG on one side of the obstruction and, using one or more
workers, pull the SRG around the obstruction cutting where needed.
Pedestal locations marked by the dot

Note - It’s okay to cut and patch the
SRG. Patching is done by welding cut
sections together with the Ultraweld
process.

Section 6
Technical Assistance

Installation of the Signal Reference Grid
The SRG should be installed prior to the installation of the raised floor pedestals.

Section 6.9

Signal Reference Grid (SRG) Installation Instructions
4. The outside strip of adjacent sections must overlap for interconnecting with the Ultraweld Process. You
can join adjacent sections of the SRG as you go, or you can wait until the entire room is covered with
the SRG sections and then weld all at once. Never make a weld over a factory weld.
5. If the SRG were ever to rip or tear, it can be patched by welding.
6. Putting pedestal mastic between the SRG and the floor can smooth any buckles in the SRG out. It
is not necessary to use other means of fastening to the floor. Do not use mastic until all Ultraweld
connections have been made.
7. All connections between sections of the SRG and the risers, pedestal bonds, column bonds, and other
metal bonded to the SRG shall use the Ultraweld molds and weld metal provided.
If not using Ultraweld Smokeless, cover strip adjacent to the mold to
prevent any splatter from marring the SRG strip. Never make welds
over factory welds.

8. Pedestal mastic should be used to hold the SRG to the floor near high-speed air inlets. Do not use
mastic until all ULTRAWELD connections have been made. Use mastic that does not contain sulphur.

Section 6
Technical Assistance

During and after installation, care should be taken when
walking or operating equipment over the SRG to avoid
tripping and damaging the SRG. If heavy or extended traffic
is expected, sheets of plywood or other durable covering
should be used to cover the SRG.

9. When pulling cables after the floor is installed, especially cables with connectors installed it is
suggested to put a cloth bag or other protection over the end of the cable to protect the connector and
guard against snagging the SRG.
Specific Instructions for Making Ultraweld Exothermic Connections
1. Follow the general and specific instructions furnished with the mold.
2. If the Ultraweld Smokeless system is not being used, cover strip adjacent to the mold to prevent any
splatter from marring the SRG strip. Never make welds over factory welds.
3. If the Ultraweld Smokeless system is being used and prevention of even a small amount of dust is
critical, then clean and prepare the mold for next weld in an area outside of the “clean area”.
