COPPER BONDED EARTH ROD

Unrivaled Protection & Durability for Critical Earthing Systems

The Copper Bonded Earth Rod is an indispensable component in any robust electrical earthing system. Engineered for maximum performance and longevity, it combines the superior mechanical strength of high-tensile steel with the exceptional conductivity and corrosion resistance of pure electrolytic copper. This creates a highly reliable, long-lasting, and cost-effective solution for dissipating fault currents and lightning strikes safely into the ground.

Key Features:

• Superior Copper Bonding: A molecular bond of 99.9% pure electrolytic copper is permanently fused to a high-tensile steel core, ensuring a strong, consistent, and uniform coating that will not crack or peel when driven.
• High Tensile Strength: The steel core provides exceptional mechanical strength, allowing for deep driving into the toughest soil conditions without mushrooming, bending, or fracturing.
• Excellent Conductivity: The copper layer ensures a low-resistance path to earth, efficiently dissipating fault currents, static charges, and lightning energy, thereby protecting personnel and equipment.
• Corrosion Resistance: Copper's natural resistance protects against oxidation, corrosion, and degradation in various soil chemistries and aggressive environments, ensuring a long operational life.
• Cost-Effective: Offers the high-performance characteristics of solid copper earth rods at a significantly lower cost, making it an economical choice for large-scale projects without compromising safety or reliability.
• Threaded or Unthreaded Options: Available with internal or external threading for easy coupling and extension using threaded couplers, or plain (unthreaded) for single-rod applications.
• Compliance: Manufactured to meet or exceed international standards such as UL467, IEEE 80, BS EN 50522, IEC 62561-2, ensuring global acceptance and reliability.
• Variety of Sizes: Available in a comprehensive range of diameters and lengths to suit diverse earthing requirements and geological conditions.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Safety: Provides a secure and reliable path for fault currents, preventing electric shock hazards and protecting personnel.
• Equipment Protection: Safeguards sensitive electronic equipment, machinery, and infrastructure from damage caused by power surges, transients, and lightning.
• Long Service Life: Resistant to corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring dependable performance and minimal degradation for decades.
• Easy Installation: Designed for direct driving into the ground using power hammers or manual methods, reducing installation time and labor costs.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide array of earthing systems across different industries and environments.
• Reduced Maintenance: The durable construction and corrosion resistance minimize the need for frequent inspection and replacement, lowering lifecycle costs.
