Moonraker Copper earth-plate for HF Radio OR 240Volt AC Electrical earth system for wooden or fiberglass vessels (MR-PR-156)
A compact radio or electrical earth plate designed to provide an efficient low resistance earth connection in wooden or fiberglass vessels for the professional and non professional user.
The Moonraker E Plate has an effective surface area of approximately 1265sq cm (1.26 sq ft) and is not appreciably affected by marine growth fouling.
Two units connected together meet the Australian marine electrical standard of 2500 sq cm.
Normally constructed of 94% low corrosion copper alloy, designed especially for tropical waters, it is also available in low corrosion aluminium for boats fitted with aluminium outboard legs or under conditions where bronze fittings should not be used, to prevent electrolysis.
Two threaded studs are integrally connected with the E Plate for mounting. No pre assembly necessary and there are no bolted joints to corrode and cause problems
- The Moonraker Earth Plate measures only 240 x 130 x 20 mm (9.5 x 5 x .75 in),
- Impedance less than 1 ohm (measured) at 5 MHz in sea water
- Integral copper studs with stainless steel washers and nuts for fitting and connection
