Publication number: 20240113454Abstract: An electrical assembly includes a metallic component having a bottom portion that is buried in the earth, a top portion that is above the earth, and an outer surface. A water-impermeable electrically-conductive covering is applied to the outer surface at the bottom portion and is in electrical contact with the earth. The covering includes a water-impermeable polymeric matrix that protects the metallic component from corrosion, and a particulate carbonaceous material that is dispersed in the polymeric matrix and that allows for the metallic component to be electrically grounded.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: SHORE ACRES ENTERPRISES INC.
