Shop Grounding Plate Anodes
Grounding Plate Anodes are essential for effective electrical bonding on marine vessels, delivering reliable performance in harsh saltwater environments. These grounding plate anodes are manufactured using thousands of bronze balls cast into a porous plate, which maximises conductivity and corrosion resistance. Designed for marine grounding systems, grounding plate anodes are widely used for electrical bonding and RF applications such as SSB and Loran antennas, helping maintain consistent signal strength and long-term onboard protection.
What Are Grounding Plate Anodes Used For?
Grounding Plate Anodes are used to:
- Improve electrical bonding on boats
- Reduce corrosion in marine environments
- Support RF grounding for SSB and Loran antennas
- Increase conductivity through high surface-area contact
