 **What is the usable working area of the ground electrode?**

Although the ground electrode is **407 mm (16.02 in)** wide, the mounting screws reduce the usable flat work area.

The maximum recommended working width is:

- **384 mm (15.1 in)**

When designing fixtures or placing parts on the electrode, ensure they fit within this usable area to avoid interference with the mounting hardware.
