GS-10, GSI-10 Series

The GS-10 and GSI10 Series are flat copper grounding straps designed for effective electrical bonding and grounding. These products are well-suited for applications that require dependable, low-resistance paths for electrical current. With decades of use in panels, enclosures, and machinery, these electrical grounding straps are trusted by engineers and technicians across industries.

Product Overview

The GS-10 model is a bare copper grounding strap made from high-conductivity copper foil. It measures 3/8” in width and 0.007” in thickness. The GSI10 version includes an insulating sleeve, available in several standard color options such as green/yellow or black. Both models feature pre-punched holes to simplify installation, eliminating the need for drilling or additional prep at the job site.

These flat electrical grounding straps are highly flexible and easy to shape around tight or confined areas, making them ideal for both new installations and system upgrades.

Key Features

The GS-10 / GSI10 Series offers a number of practical features that contribute to electrical and mechanical reliability:

• Made with high-purity copper for maximum conductivity
• Pre-punched holes save time during installation
• Custom lengths available to match mounting requirements
• Optional insulation on the GSI10 provides added protection
• Flexible construction for routing around panels or equipment

Because of their flat profile and soft foil construction, these grounding straps can be placed in areas where rigid connections would be difficult or space-prohibitive.

Applications

These products serve as an effective bonding solution in various electrical systems. They are commonly used for:

• Grounding control cabinets and electrical panels
• Connecting frames and doors to main enclosures
• Static discharge in HVAC and automation equipment

In all of these uses, the straps deliver a reliable ground path that reduces the risk of voltage build-up or stray currents. Their high surface area helps dissipate heat and allows for high current transfer, which is critical in emergency fault conditions.

GS-10 vs. GSI10

While both models share the same copper foil base and pre-punched hole design, they serve slightly different purposes:

• GS-10: Non-insulated version for applications where the strap remains protected or where insulation is not required.
• GSI10: Features insulation for added safety and to meet electrical code requirements in specific installations.

The insulation also makes it easier to identify electrical grounding straps by color, aiding in visual system checks or audits.

Customization Options

The GS-10 / GSI10 Series can be produced to match project-specific needs. Customers can choose:

• Strap length (hole-to-hole measurement)
• Hole diameter (¼”, ⅜”, or other sizes)
• Type and color of insulation (for GSI10 only)

This level of flexibility allows installers to use these products without cutting or drilling on site, reducing installation time and error potential.

Technical Advantages

Copper is widely used in electrical applications due to its superior conductivity and thermal properties. The GS-10 / GSI10 Series takes advantage of these characteristics with a design that prioritizes safety and performance. These grounding straps help maintain system integrity under both normal and fault conditions.

These electrical grounding straps are produced to meet typical electrical grounding practices and support compliance with common industrial standards. Their design and materials contribute to consistent electrical bonding that supports system protection and personnel safety.
