The premium solution for the most demanding installations
The premium solution for the most demanding installations
SAFEGROUND® monitors the grounding system using Cirprotec's patented technology, ensuring reliable and efficient control to meet the highest technical demands.
Patented Cirprotec technology
SAFEGROUND® is based on continuous monitoring technology using the impedance loop technology already patented, sold and implemented by Cirprotec in thousands of protection solutions worldwide.
The differentiating factor in this technological development (patent pending), is the incorporation of this technology into the confined space of a surge protection device, providing added value to the piece of equipment, and taking advantage of the positive synergy between the grounding system and the protectors.
SAFEGROUND® is not intended to be a resistance meter; rather it helps <provide relevant information about the surge protector and potentially about the installation.
Sending pulses and measuring the voltage response makes it possible to measure the impedance of the path, which usually includes the grounding system and wiring and the return path through the transformer coil.

Impedance loop method
The loop impedance method is a system for checking the entire grounding system by acting physically not on earth roads, but solely on the low voltage line.
Sending pulses and measuring the voltage response makes it possible to measure the impedance of the path, which usually includes the grounding system and wiring and the return path through the transformer coil.
