Ground and bond with confidence.
Ground and bond with confidence.
Grounding and bonding are the foundation of every safe electrical system. nVent ERICO delivers code ready performance with copper bonded rods, busbars, GEM, and Cadweld permanent connections. These systems clear fault currents quickly and protect both people and equipment with long term reliability. Summit Electric Supply is your partner for ERICO grounding and bonding products, helping you choose components that keep projects compliant from the ground up.

nVent ERICO Grounding & Bonding Benefits
nVent ERICO Grounding & Bonding Benefits
- Code Compliance - ERICO grounding and bonding products are tested to NEC Article 250 and UL 467, making inspections straightforward and ensuring code approval.
- Cadweld - Exothermic welding creates a permanent molecular bond that carries as much current as the conductor, withstands repeated fault currents, and never loosens or corrodes.
- Fast Fault Clearing - Low impedance grounding paths return dangerous currents to source instantly, reducing the risk of fire, shock, or equipment damage.
- Zero Voltage Difference - Grounding busbars create equipotential planes that eliminate dangerous voltage variations and improve personnel safety in sensitive facilities.
- Soil Performance - GEM (Ground Enhancement Material) improves conductivity in rocky or sandy soil, reducing resistance without the need for multiple rods.
- Corrosion Resistance - Copper bonded rods and hardware provide decades of performance even in harsh soil conditions.
- Maintenance Free - Once installed, ERICO grounding systems deliver long term protection with little to no ongoing maintenance required.
- Integrated Protection - Grounding ties directly into surge and lightning protection systems, creating a complete defense for facilities and equipment.
