Blackburn GP1108 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn GP1108 ground plate come with, and what wire size is it made for?
The GP1108 is a copper pole bottom ground plate supplied with an 8 foot conductor sized for 6 AWG solid, per the GROUNDPLATE CU POLE 6SLD 8FTCOND designation. The plate body is copper and it is sold as a single each, so one pole base needs one unit.
2) Does the Blackburn GP1108 need to be brazed or exothermically welded, or is it a bolted connection?
It's a mechanical connection, so no exothermic welding kit, mold, or torch is needed. Crews land the conductor with the plate's mechanical hardware, which keeps it a straightforward field install inside a pole base and makes the termination inspectable and re-torquable later.
3) How much room do I need inside the pole base for the GP1108 ground plate?
Plan for a 10 inch (254 mm) plate dimension when checking clearance inside the base or handhole. Measure your pole's bolt circle and interior opening against that before ordering, since the plate has to sit flat at the bottom of the base.
4) Can I use the GP1108 with 4 AWG or stranded ground wire instead of 6 solid?
The GP1108 is built around 6 AWG solid, with the 8 foot conductor already supplied at that size. If your drawing calls for a larger electrode conductor or stranded wire, specify a plate rated for that conductor rather than adapting this one.
5) Is the Blackburn GP1108 ground plate insulated or coated?
No insulation on it. The plate is bare copper with no insulating jacket or coating, which is what you want for a grounding electrode connection in direct contact with the pole base and earth. There is also no indicator feature on the device.
