Grounding and lightning protection brushes
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 or silver) pressed and baked to bring them to the required solidity and cohesion levels.
