Grounding and lightning protection devices from Mersen include brushes made of metal-graphite grades.
Grounding device brushes
Mersen's brushes for grounding systems are made from metal-graphite grades.
These grades are prepared from purified natural graphite and metal powders (copper, silver…) pressed and baked to bring them to the required solidity and cohesion levels.
GROUNDING CARBON BRUSHES:
• prevent stray shaft currents from damaging your motor bearings
• eliminate static electricity
