Blackburn GP114 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn GP114 ground plate and where does it get installed?
The GP114 is a copper pole bottom ground plate, model GP114 from Blackburn. It mounts at the base of a pole (typically inside the handhole area of a light or utility pole) and gives you a copper grounding point to land conductors on. The plate measures 14 inches, or 356 mm.
2) Does the GP114 ground plate need to be welded, or is it a bolted connection?
It is a mechanical connection type, so conductors are bolted or clamped to the plate rather than exothermically welded. That matters on a job where you do not want to bring welding molds and cartridges to a pole base, and it means the connection can be opened later for testing or repair.
3) Will the 14 inch Blackburn GP114 fit inside my pole base?
The plate is 14 inches (356 mm), so the pole bottom or base opening it drops into has to accommodate that 14 inch dimension. On a smaller diameter pole or a tight handhole, measure before you order, because a 14 inch plate will not go into a base that cannot clear it.
4) Is the Blackburn GP114 pole ground plate solid copper?
The conductor material is copper. Copper is used on grounding plates because it matches the copper grounding electrode conductor you are landing on it and avoids a dissimilar metal connection at the pole base. There is no insulation on the part, it is bare copper.
5) Is the Blackburn GP114 sold individually or in a carton of multiples?
It is sold each, so one order quantity equals one ground plate. If you are grounding a run of poles on a parking lot or roadway job, order one per pole.
6) Does the Blackburn GP114 have any kind of test or continuity indicator on it?
No indicator of any kind is part of the plate. It is a passive copper grounding point, so verification of the ground is done with your own test equipment at commissioning, not read off the device.
