Well made for a Ham Shack.

This is really well constructed and super thick/heavy metal. Because this is so heavy and would otherwise be a problem to ship, the manufacturer has put it in a nice reusable plastic case that you can use for other things once you install this.This is used for lightning protection, mitigating electrolytic corrosion on a ship/boat or an installation that touches the ground, and eliminating electrical noise.If you would like to know more about how to properly use it, there is a great book by my friend Ward Silver: "Grounding and Bonding for the Radio Amateur 2nd Edition – Good Practices for Electrical Safety, Lightning Protection, and RF Management." At this writing, it's $25 on Amazon. This book is written for radio hams, but usable by anyone, and because not all hams are engineers, gives a simple explanation of things that might be difficult to find elsewhere.But the basic explanation is: electronics that are to be protected from lightning and other electrical surges should be connected to a single-point ground system. So, all to a bar like this, and the bar to a ground rod or array of ground rods. The advantage of a single-point ground system is that all of the equipment stays at the same "potential" (voltage) with respect to ground, and it's the voltage _difference_ caused by the lightning or surge that can damage the equipment, so this helps to prevent such a difference.On a ship, boat, or installation that touches the ground, you connect all of the things you wish to protect to this bar, and then connect the bar to a sacrificial electrode, made of zinc or magnesium and driven into the ground. The electrode will maintain a slight voltage so that _it_ is subject to electrolytic corrosion, rather than the protected equipment.Those are short explanations that don't give the whole story. See Ward's book for that.I have a remote ham radio site where this will be used. I do a talk on it: "10 Acres for Antennas Where My Wife Doesn't Live".If I were to ask for any improvement, it would be that the copper be nickel plated. There are two reasons for this: 1. It eliminates tarnish. and 2. Unsavory individuals steal copper to sell at the scrap yard, because they get good money for it. Plating it with a silver color means they won't recognize it as copper. This has become a common practice because it's such a problem, at the National Association of Broadcasters show, I saw this done by commercial radio transmitter equipment vendors.

For the longest time, I had a rigged up series of grounding straps that just looked messy and unorganized. Once this arrived, I was able to clean up the shack and get that nightmare sorted out. It's probably just my ears playing tricks, but I'd swear, my HF radio receives better now. (Even though I know this is really to keep charges from building on the equipment cases.)

Per my husband's request, I purchased this Wall Mounted Copper Ground Bar Kit for the installation of our solar power system. For connecting all of the ground wires, this kit was a great option because it provided a reliable and organized method for managing multiple connections. The copper build guaranteed excellent conductivity, and the 10 terminal locations gave the wires plenty of space. My husband appreciated that it came already assembled, which greatly reduced the amount of time he had to spend installing it. It was easy to install in our electrical system due to its compact size (7.87" length), and the strong construction gives us comfort in knowing that the connections are safe. All things considered, this kit is a helpful addition to our setup and made grounding our solar power system easier.

This review is for Wall Mounted Copper Ground Bar Kit, with 10 Terminal Positions,Copper Grounding Busbar Bar (.24"x 1.97"x 7.87") KitThis is a nicely made ground bus bar. The copper plate weighs more than 1 pound. There are M8-1.25 Bolt/Washer/Lock/Net sets for each of 10 positions and comes with twp standoffs ad wall mounting brackets. The finish on all parts is good.This should be used to bring all conductive objects to the same potential to prevent voltage differentials that might cause damage. For example, if you have three pieces of equipment connected together with audio or USB cables, all the items' chassis grounds should be connected to a common point. If each item has a three prong plug (US only), then they are all grounded to the building electrical system and that would be fine. However, if one or more are supplied by a 2 prong (US only) power plug, then using this ground bus bar could help prevent damage when there are high level of static discharge outside that may get into the equipment. This is critical when antennas or above ground copper phone or cable wire come into the house.While many books have been written about proper grounding and NEC Section 250 is all about grounding, there are some general guideline that you should consider. First, tie all of the grounds in a building together using the straightest, largest cross section copper conductor you can use. Do not connect a bus bar like this to an independent ground rod, unless you also bond that ground rod to the main building's ground system. The primary goals is to have all equipment be grounded at the same potential, preventing current flow between them.Nothing will protect against a direct hit from lightning, but even a lightning strike a mile away can cause thousands of volts in induced potential in elevated electrical wiring or other metallic objects outside the building envelope, like antennas. Ground bus bars like this one will reduce damage to equipment if installed properly. It should not be installed in wet areas and should be protected from significant dampness which mat cause corrosion, which, in turn ,will cause the connections to fail.This bus bar is capable of handling very large current flows due to the large cross sectional area of the copper base. Just make sure one of the connections is to the common building ground. Good value for the money.

I use a lot of high-current DC in the shop, and these are great for joining lots of cabling that would otherwise be a nightmare to link together.
