Description

Voltmen 100 Marconite Earthing 3 Meters

Marconite enables electrical earthing system designers and installers to achieve permanent, stable and low resistance earthing solutions even in difficult ground conditions when it is used as backfill to enhance the effect of copper earth electrodes or earth rods is example –

3 x 25kg bags of marconite

1 x 25 kg bag of cement

25 liters (25 kg) of water

When mixed as described above, marconite forms a relatively dry substance with a density of about 1300 kg/m². The amount of water can be adjusted as per the requirement of the application,Typically, Marconite concrete dries within a few hours but may take several days to cure completely. marconite Marconite is also available in ‘premix’ form –It is a standard 25kg poly sack containing pre-weighed quantities of Marconite and cement powder in the correct proportions to make the preferred concrete. By adding 5 liters of water each Marconite bag can be mixed independently and used without the need to carry additional cement powder 

MARCONITE – THE BENEFITS

• Low resistivity : 0.001 ohm.m is extremely low (Bentonite 3 ohm.m)
• Marconite is a granulated electrically conductive aggregate which replaces sand in mixes with cement, thereby providing electrically conductive concrete.
• Versatile : suits most ground conditions and becomes a permanent, solid structure that it is not prone to shrinking, drying out or being washed away
• Cost effective : permanent solution with no need to remove and replace or ‘maintain’ periodically with additional water / salts in order to achieve the desired earth values
• Chemically inert : Marconite is non-corrosive to steel or copper, does not attack cement structures and has a pH within the neutral range
• High strength : can be used as part of the building structure itself and achieve strengths higher than Grade 25 concrete
• Easy to use : forms a concrete like material achieving a low resistance earth, no need to wait or return to test
