ABSTRACT:
A grounding device is disclosed which utilizes the superposition principle o preclude step voltage hazards. At least three conductors are included in the grounding device, each conductor being capable of extending radially from a common center with the adjacent radially extending conductors being separated by substantially equal angles. A plurality of electrically conductive stakes are affixed to each conductor and are engaged into the earth for conducting current thereinto. The stakes may be tapered to facilitate the engagement thereof into the earth, while a center plate may be utilized to connect the conductors to the common center.
