Dynaplate 4006 Earthplate For Bonding - Standard (152 x 51mm) 2 1/2" Centre to Centre Holes

Suits Electrical Bonding Systems (SUR 4006)

The Guest Dynaplate is made from thousands of tiny bronze spheres bonded together by heat and pressure into a porous plate. This porosity makes the Dynaplate ideal for use in electrical bonding systems. It can also be used in RF applications such as grounding SSB and LORAN antennas for improved performance. NOTE: Minor discoloration does not effect performance.

Create a proper bonding and grounding system using Dynaplate grounding shoes to reduce the risk of serious hull damage and electrical shock associated with boat lightning strikes by providing a direct, controlled high-capacity path for lightning dissipation. SSB and AM radio transmitters rely upon a proper size ground to operate to their designed capacity. A Dynaplate grounding shoe helps provide a large solid surface (the water surrounding the boat) to "push off" from. This is technically known as "counterpoise" and is the other necessary half of the antenna system. The bronze Dynaplate material also serves as the next sacrificial metal on the galvanic scale after the zincs, providing another buffer against corrosion of stainless steel parts.
