Ensure unparalleled safety and optimal electrical grounding with our Copper Bonded Earthing Pipes. Engineered for maximum conductivity, corrosion resistance, and longevity, these pipes provide a robust and reliable pathway for fault currents, protecting both personnel and sensitive equipment.
A Copper Bonded Earthing Pipe is a sophisticated grounding electrode made from a low-carbon steel core that is molecularly bonded with a layer of 99.9% pure electrolytic copper. This innovative construction combines the high tensile strength of steel with the superior conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper, offering an ideal solution for effective and durable earthing systems.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Core Material | Low Carbon Steel (conforming to relevant IS/BS/ASTM standards) |
| Bonding Material | 99.9% Pure Electrolytic Copper |
| Bonding Type | Molecularly Bonded / Electro-deposited (ensures permanent adhesion, no cracking or peeling) |
| Copper Layer Thickness | Typically 100, 250, 300, 350 microns (µm) or as per client requirement and specific standard compliance. |
| Standard Diameters | 38mm (1.5"), 48mm (1.9"), 50mm (2"), 76mm (3"), 89mm (3.5"), 101mm (4") (or customizable) |
| Standard Lengths | 2 meters (6.5 ft), 3 meters (10 ft), 4 meters (13 ft) (customizable lengths available) |
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 600N/mm² (for the steel core) |
| Adhesion Test | Passes stringent adhesion tests (e.g., clamp test, bend test) |
| Resistance | Extremely Low (dependent on soil conditions and copper thickness) |
| Standards Compliance | IEC 62561-2, UL 467, IS 3043, BS EN 50522, IEEE 80 (where applicable) |
| Accessories | Compatible clamps, couplers, driving heads, and inspection pits available. |
Our Copper Bonded Earthing Pipes are essential for a wide range of applications requiring robust and reliable grounding:
| Feature | Copper Bonded Earthing Pipe | Galvanized Iron (GI) Earthing Pipe |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Conductivity | Excellent (Copper is approx. 4x better than steel) | Good (Relies on Zinc coating, then steel) |
| Corrosion Resistance | Superior (Molecularly bonded copper, very durable) | Moderate (Zinc coating degrades over time, then rusts) |
| Lifespan | Very Long (25+ years) | Moderate (5-10 years, depending on soil) |
| Earth Resistance | Stable & Low (Maintains performance over time) | Can increase over time as corrosion progresses |
| Maintenance | Minimal to None | Requires periodic inspection and potential replacement |
| Installation | High strength, easier to drive into tough soil | Can bend or damage more easily |
| Cost (Long-Term) | Higher initial cost, but lower overall lifecycle cost | Lower initial cost, but higher replacement/maintenance |
Installation should always be carried out by qualified personnel, adhering to relevant local and international electrical safety standards. Due to their robust design, Copper Bonded Earthing Pipes require minimal maintenance once properly installed. Regular inspection of connections (clamps, test links) is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
