      Copper Bonded Grounding Rods (Earthing Rods)

      Superior Electrical Safety & Grounding Solutions

      Engineered for optimal grounding performance, our Copper Bonded Rods provide unparalleled electrical safety and long-term reliability for a wide range of applications. Combining the strength of steel with the excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper, these rods are the ideal choice for effective earthing systems.

      Key Features

      • Advanced Molecular Bonding: Manufactured using an electrolytic bonding process that permanently fuses a uniform layer of 99.9% pure electrolytic copper to a high-tensile steel core. This molecular bond ensures the copper layer will not crack, peel, or separate, even under extreme driving conditions.
      • High Conductivity: The thick, pure copper layer provides low electrical resistance, ensuring efficient dissipation of fault currents and lightning strikes, crucial for protecting personnel and sensitive equipment.
      • Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: The durable copper cladding offers superior resistance to corrosion in various soil types, significantly extending the lifespan of the grounding system compared to galvanized or bare steel rods.
      • High Mechanical Strength: The high-tensile steel core provides robust structural integrity, allowing the rods to be driven deep into the ground with standard driving equipment without bending, mushrooming, or suffering mechanical damage.
      • Consistent Copper Thickness: Our rods feature a minimum copper bonding thickness (e.g., 250 microns / 0.25mm) uniformly applied across the entire surface, guaranteeing consistent performance and longevity.
      • Compliance with International Standards: Manufactured in accordance with leading global standards such as UL 467, IEEE 80, BS 7430, and IEC 62561-2, ensuring reliability and acceptance in various projects.
      • Threads for Extension: Available with rolled threads (UNC or Metric) on one or both ends for easy coupling and extension, enabling deeper earth penetration to reach lower resistance soil layers.

      Benefits

      • Enhanced Electrical Safety: Provides a safe path for fault currents to dissipate, protecting against electric shock hazards and ensuring the safe operation of electrical systems.
      • Reliable Performance: Guarantees consistent and effective grounding over decades, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
      • Cost-Effective Solution: Offers the performance benefits of solid copper at a fraction of the cost, making it an economically viable choice for large-scale installations.
      • Long Lifespan: Superior corrosion resistance and robust construction ensure a long operational life, even in aggressive soil conditions.
      • Easy & Efficient Installation: The steel core's strength facilitates quicker and easier installation, reducing labor time and equipment wear.
      • Broad Application Suitability: Ideal for a wide range of grounding requirements, from residential to heavy industrial setups.
