      Description


      Copper Bonded Ground Rod

      Overview

      Ensure superior electrical grounding with our premium Copper Bonded Ground Rods. Engineered for exceptional safety, reliability, and longevity, these rods are the cornerstone of any effective earthing system. Combining the high tensile strength of steel with the superior conductivity and corrosion resistance of pure copper, our copper bonded rods provide a cost-effective yet high-performance alternative to solid copper rods, built to withstand the harshest environmental conditions and ensure robust fault current dissipation.

      Key Features

      • High Strength Steel Core: Manufactured from high-tensile, low-carbon steel, providing exceptional rigidity and strength to resist bending and mushrooming during driving into hard ground conditions.
      • Molecularly Bonded Pure Copper Layer: A uniform, metallurgical bond of 99.9% pure electrolytic copper to the steel core, ensuring a permanent and non-peeling coating that will not crack when bent or hammered.
      • Superior Corrosion Resistance: The thick copper coating provides excellent protection against oxidation and galvanic corrosion, extending the rod's service life significantly, even in aggressive soil environments.
      • High Conductivity: The pure copper layer ensures optimal electrical conductivity, facilitating low ground resistance and efficient dissipation of fault currents and lightning strikes.
      • Consistent Copper Thickness: Guaranteed minimum copper thickness (e.g., 254 microns / 10 mil) across the entire rod surface, ensuring durable performance and compliance with international standards.
      • Polished Surface: A smooth, polished surface finish reduces driving friction and provides a clean, professional appearance.
      • Threaded or Pointed Options: Available with pointed ends for easy driving, or threaded for coupling multiple rods to achieve deeper grounding.

      Benefits

      • Enhanced Safety: Provides a stable and reliable path to earth, protecting personnel and equipment from electrical hazards, overvoltages, and lightning strikes.
      • Exceptional Durability & Longevity: Built to last for decades, reducing the need for frequent replacement and maintenance.
      • Cost-Effective Solution: Offers the performance advantages of copper at a fraction of the cost of solid copper rods.
      • Easy & Reliable Installation: The strong steel core allows for easy driving without damage, even in challenging soil conditions.
      • Compliance & Peace of Mind: Manufactured to stringent international standards, ensuring your grounding system meets critical safety and performance requirements.
      • Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of grounding needs in diverse environments.
