Applications
- Lightning Protection Systems (LPS): Used as down conductors and bonding conductors to safely channel high-current lightning strikes from air terminals to the grounding grid.
- Electrical Grounding Grids: Serves as a primary conductor in grounding mats and meshes for substations, power plants, telecommunication towers, and industrial facilities.
- Utility & Infrastructure Projects: Ideal for grounding in railway systems, wind turbine foundations, and cell phone tower sites.
- Building & Construction: Implemented in the grounding systems of commercial, industrial, and residential buildings for safety and equipment protection.
- Retrofit & Maintenance: A cost-effective and durable solution for upgrading or repairing existing grounding installations.
Working Principle
The Copper Clad Steel Flat Bar operates on the principle of providing a low-impedance, preferential path to earth. In a lightning strike or electrical fault, a massive amount of electrical energy seeks the easiest route to the ground. The thick outer copper layer of our flat bar offers excellent surface conductivity, efficiently carrying this current.
The robust steel core provides high tensile strength, preventing breakage under mechanical stress (like frost heave or installation tension) and thermal stress from high currents. This synergy ensures the grounding conductor remains intact and functional for decades, safely protecting structures, equipment, and personnel by preventing dangerous voltage build-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the advantages of copper clad steel over solid copper for grounding?
A: Copper clad steel offers the perfect balance: it provides nearly the same surface conductivity as solid copper for excellent current dissipation, but with the much higher mechanical strength and lower cost of steel. It is more resistant to bending, breaking, and theft.
Q2: Is the copper cladding thick enough for long-term performance?
A: Yes. Hai Tang products are manufactured with a thick, molecularly-bonded copper cladding that ensures long-term conductivity and corrosion resistance. The bond is permanent and will not peel or separate under normal environmental and operational stresses.
Q3: Can you make specific lengths or add our company logo?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in customization. We can produce flat bars in your exact required lengths and can roll your company logo or specific markings onto the product for easy identification and branding (Logo Customization).
Q4: What types of projects is this product best suited for?
A: It is the industry-preferred choice for most large-scale, permanent grounding applications, including power substations, telecommunication sites, wind farms, lightning protection systems, and industrial plant grounding. It is ideal where both durability and conductivity are paramount.
Q5: Do you support custom product development (ODM/OEM)?
A: Yes, we offer full OEM and ODM support. Our engineering team can work with you to develop or customize flat bars to meet unique project specifications, material standards, or performance requirements.
