Flexible Gate Jumpers

Grounding and bonding of fence posts and gates is especially important at substations and cellular antenna sites because the outside of the fence is typically accessible to the public.  During a fault condition, the fence could have a very high “touch” potential. In addition, the fence is often at the edge of the ground grid where the surface potentials are at the highest. A solidly bonded counterpoise 30" outside the fence can mitigate the risk this high-touch potential poses.
