PowerFill is an easily applied product which produces lower steady-state and stable grounding impedance. PowerFill produces a lower surge impedance which results in faster transient dissipation. Manufactured from environmentally safe and stable products, PowerFill has an excellent shelf life and long-term storage has no performance effects.

PowerFill creates a positive, low-resistance, electrical connection between grounding system and the earth. PowerFill has been manufactured to be compatible with standard copper grounding systems and standard field application methods. It can be used in connection with grounding grids to minimize step and touch potentials. In high-resistivity soils, PowerFill can be used to produce acceptable grounding impedance with reasonable size.

The versatility and ease of applying PowerFill to lower ground resistance of grounding equipment allows for a variety of earthing designs to be used which would otherwise be uneconomical or not practical.

PowerFill requires only minimum instruction for proper application. No special tools are needed. Care should be exercised to use insulated conductors as they exit the PowerFill.

Vertical Installation:

• Drill or dig the earth hole to the desired diameter and depth.
• Suspend groundrod in center of hole to be filled.
• Pour PowerFill until desired level is obtained. No tamping is necessary.

Horizontal or Grid Construction
Entire grounding system should be surrounded by PowerFill. Conductors should be insulated as they exit the PowerFill column.

Horizontal Construction:

• Pour into horizontal trench until level of ground wire is reached.
• Place ground wire.
• Pour in additional PowerFill until ground wire is covered to desired height.
• Cover with fill. No tamping necessary.

Grid Construction:

• Pour PowerFill and spread over ground grid until desired thickness is achieved.
• Cover with fill.

The use of PowerFill around the grounding system will reduce surge impedance by increasing the effective contact area of the electrode to soil.

Shipping:
