SHIELDING AND GROUNDING SOLUTIONS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

Ground Straps for for electrostatic discharge, lightning strike and power equipment grounding

Lightweight microfilament ground strap with ArmorLite™ technology reduces aircraft all-up-weight

A single lightning strike can hit an aircraft with as much as 1,000,000 volts. Static electricity can charge an aircraft, particularly in cold and wet air, with enough electrical potential to result in a discharge that can fry avionics gear and disrupt electric motor operation. Power generation systems (batteries, motors, inverters, etc.) can also produce transient electrical current that can damage adjacent electronic systems such as electronic controllers and fly-by-wire systems. Damage from these events is minimized and managed in aircraft through the use of electrical bonding. Flexible bonding straps are attached between equipment and airframes as well as between structural elements and flight

Ultra-lightweight ground straps with highly conductive or dissipative performance Metal-clad microfilament braided solutions Significant contribution to weight reduction initiatives in commercial and military aircraft Heavy-duty variants for electrical potential grounding from engines, starters, and power units Fast turnaround on requests for unusual and build-to-print requirements

control surfaces to conduct destructive electrical surges to ground or to bus bar components capable of absorbing significant amounts of transient voltage Glenair has designed and supplies a broad range of braided and solid material ground straps to both commercial and military aerospace customers. Our ground straps are exactingly designed with appropriate conductive and dissipative materials for each application.

2-ply ground straps provide superior bonding and flexibility
