Overview

The ABB GP100 Ground Plate Type GP is a 7.5-inch diameter copper plate engineered for pole bottom grounding applications in utility, telecom, and industrial systems. Constructed from 0.025-inch thick electrolytic sheet copper, the GP100 delivers superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance in outdoor and harsh environments. The plate features a grooved design to trap moisture, enhancing ground resistance stability over time. The integrated pigtail wire ranges from #4 stranded to #14 solid AWG, providing compatibility with standard grounding conductors for simplified installation. With a surface area of 56 square inches, the GP100 offers broad contact with soil, reducing ground resistance compared to traditional butt-wrapped poles. This ground plate is installed at the butt end of utility poles to provide an economical, low-resistance neutral ground, meeting critical safety requirements for multigrounded neutral construction. The GP100 is part of ABB Installation Products' Type GP series, designed for efficiency and reliability in grounding systems. Compared to butt-wrapped poles, the GP100 reduces installed costs while delivering equivalent or superior performance. The copper construction ensures minimal maintenance and extended service life, making it a cost-effective solution for grounding applications requiring durable, high-conductivity components.
