Copper Vs Stainless Steel in an Earth Mat
Copper Vs Stainless Steel in an Earth Mat
(OP)
Hi there,
I have a bit of a dilemma. My supervisor just returned from Germany and while he was there he discovered that on Cell Sites they use stainless to form a ring with electrodes to earth the mast. Has anyone out there know any pros and cons of using stainless over copper.
Thx in advance

Stainless- well, can't think of a reason to use it other than corrosion.

It is true that SS corrodes in the absence of O2 (not air). Probably not an issue in most places, but might be in some.
