Your total solution for earthing, lightning and surge protection from ABB Furse® exclusively available in New Zealand.

AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical Installations outlines the minimum requirements for both protective and functional earthing in electrical installations. Many large commercial, industrial, and high-voltage projects require earthing systems designed to specific requirements, or under Section 1 of AS/NZS 3000, as a “Certified Design.” These designs specify the installation’s earthing structure, along with detailed installation and testing procedures for contractors to follow.

The range of ABB Furse® earthing products available through Active Electrical Suppliers Ltd help electrical contractors meet these exacting standards. Each component is engineered to achieve electrically low resistance values and to withstand mechanical damage, thermal stress, and electromechanical forces caused by earth fault and leakage currents that may occur within an installation.

Our Solutions

Lightning is one of nature’s most powerful and destructive phenomena. Lightning strikes present a real and significant threat to life, to the structures in which we live and work, and to the electronic systems which support us in our daily lives.

To ensure continuous operation of critical systems even in the event of a direct strike, surge protection devices are essential and should be suitably deployed based on the source of surge and its intensity using the Lightning Protection Zones (LPZ) concept within recognised standard IEC/BS EN 62305.

Earthing of the lightning protection system is paramount for safety in order to protect life, electrical equipment and critical electronics systems from faults and lightning currents. An effective earthing system relies on joints and connections to have good electrical conductivity with high mechanical strength.

FurseWELD exothermic welding is a cost-efficient method of making large or small numbers of high quality electrical connections. It is a simple, self-contained system that uses the high temperature reaction of powdered copper oxide and aluminium, within a mould, to form permanent electrical connections.

ABB Furse® offers comprehensive resources, from product catalogues and technical guides on latest standards to datasheets and risk assessment software, supporting your lightning protection needs.
