The MITIGATOR™

MITIGATOR Product Data Sheet.pdf

The pipeline industry’s first engineered AC Mitigation grounding system, combining superior AC grounding performance with greater ease of installation and lower overall cost.


APPLICATION

This product is intended for use in pipeline AC Mitigation applications. Placed parallel to pipelines in high voltage AC transmission corridors, the MITIGATORTM provides an easily installed, cost effective drain for induced AC current being picked up along the pipeline.

ADVANTAGES

  • A complete integrated grounding system with a copper conductor in a fabric tube machine packed with corrosion inhibiting backfill designed for grounding systems.

  • 433% more surface area than bare 2/0 copper cable.

  • Significantly lower system impedance.

  • Utilizes a 19 strand #2 bare copper cable for enhanced flexibility and ease of installation.

  • Robust outer housing with green color coded stranding to identify the grounding cable assembly.

  • Can be easily installed using cable plow or conventional trenching.

  • Available in 500, 1,000 ft, and longer reel lengths.

  • Machine packed special purpose grounding backfill to maintain intimate contact with the copper conductor.

  • Additives are added to the backfill to inhibit corrosion of the copper conductor.
