Copper Bonded Earthing Rod - Superior Grounding for Uncompromised Safety

Ensure the ultimate safety and reliability of your electrical installations with our premium Copper Bonded Earthing Rods. Engineered for unparalleled performance, these rods combine the high tensile strength of a steel core with the excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance of an electrolytically bonded copper layer. An essential component for any effective earthing and lightning protection system, our rods provide a robust, low-resistance path to dissipate fault currents safely into the ground.

Key Features:

• Advanced Material Composition:
  • High Tensile Steel Core: Provides exceptional mechanical strength, allowing for deep ground penetration without bending or breaking, even in challenging soil conditions.
  • 99.9% Pure Electrolytic Copper Bonding: A uniform, molecularly bonded layer of high-purity copper ensures superior electrical conductivity and long-lasting corrosion protection.
• Minimum Copper Thickness: Guaranteed minimum copper layer thickness (e.g., 250 microns or 0.25mm) as per international standards, ensuring extended operational life and consistent performance.
• Molecular Bonding Process: Our advanced manufacturing process creates an unbreakable, atomic bond between the copper and steel, preventing delamination and ensuring a consistent electrical path.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: The thick copper layer effectively resists oxidation and corrosion in various soil types, outperforming galvanized steel rods and significantly extending service life.
• Excellent Conductivity: Offers a significantly lower electrical resistance compared to plain steel rods, crucial for quickly and safely dissipating dangerous electrical currents.
• Threaded for Versatility: Available with precision-rolled threads (e.g., UNC, UNF, M12, M16) on one or both ends, allowing for easy coupling to extend rod length and connection to earthing accessories.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Provides a performance comparable to solid copper rods at a fraction of the cost, making it an economically smart choice for critical earthing applications.
• Compliance & Certification: Manufactured to stringent international standards such as UL 467, IEEE 837, and IEC 62561-2, ensuring reliability and safety.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Safety: Protects personnel from electrical shocks and safeguards sensitive equipment from damage due to fault currents and lightning strikes.
• Extended System Lifespan: The durable copper bonding ensures the earthing system remains effective for decades, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
• Reliable Performance: Guarantees a stable, low-resistance connection to earth, crucial for the proper functioning of sensitive electronic equipment and overall system integrity.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of environments and soil conditions, from residential to heavy industrial setups.
• Ease of Installation: Compatible with standard driving accessories (driving studs, couplings) for efficient installation, minimizing labor time.
• Regulatory Compliance: Helps meet national and international electrical safety codes and standards.
