Marconite is the world’s premium electrically conductive aggregate material – the synthetic material is manufactured specifically for use in earthing applications and unlike Bentonite it is not a naturally occurring mineral or ore.

Marconite enables electrical earthing system designers and installers to achieve permanent, stable and low resistance earthing solutions, even in difficult ground conditions when used as a backfill to enhance the effects of copper earth electrodes or earth roads

Specifically developed and manufactured for the needs of the earthing industry, Marconite has allowed engineers for over 40 years to tackle the toughest conditions and achieve the satisfactory earthing of installations including substations across the globe.

Dark grey in colour and of a granular consistency, Marconite earthing replaces traditional sand and aggregate materials. The mix ratios should be 3 parts of Marconite to 1 part cement by weight with the addition of 1 litre of water per 4 Kg of total mix. For example:

• 3 x 25 Kg bags of Marconite
• 1 x 25 Kg bag of Cement
• 25 litres (25 Kg) of Water

When mixed as described above Marconite forms a relatively dry material with an ‘as poured’ density of around 1300 Kg / m³. The water content may be adjusted as the application requires but this will affect the concretes final compressive strength and the drying times accordingly. Typically, Marconite concretes are touch dry within hours but can be several days before being fully cured.

Applications of our Concrete Conductive Earthing Electrodes

• The electrodes are widely used in Lightning Protection Systems
• Notable presence of Copper electrodes is found in Substations, Transformers, DG as well.
• Every Data Centre requires a proper earthing for overall security. Copper earthing electrodes are apt for the purpose.
• Earthing of CNC Machines are also facilitated by using Copper electrodes
• The Copper Earthing Electrodes are perfect for earthing purposes, for the setup and appliances in Telecom Industries
• Another notable point of application for copper electrodes are at Railway Signaling Systems, to prevent unavoidable circumstances
• Used widely in UPS. EPBAX, FAX etc.

Additional Information:

• Delivery Time: 2 days
• Packaging Details: Low resistivity : 0.001 ohm.m is extremely low (Bentonite 3 ohm.m) Marconite Applications of our Concrete Conductive Earthing Electrodes The electrodes are widely used in Lightning Protection Systems Notable presence of Copper electrodes is found in Substations, Transformers, DG as well.

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
