Earthing Tag With Bolt Nut

What Is an Earth Tag and Why It Matters?

An Earth Tag is a flat metallic ring, usually made of brass, that fits between the cable gland and the equipment enclosure. Its main job is to provide a secure path for fault currents to safely reach the ground. Without this connection, any fault or leakage current might remain on the metal parts of the gland or enclosure, creating a potential shock hazard.

Furthermore, the Earth Tag helps maintain a continuous earth bond between the gland and the system, ensuring that any stray current finds a safe discharge route. It is one of the simplest yet most effective grounding components used in industrial and commercial electrical systems.
