Premium Copper Bonded Grounding Rod - Superior Earthing Solution

Ensure robust, reliable, and long-lasting electrical grounding with our high-performance Copper Bonded Rods. Engineered to deliver maximum safety and system integrity, these rods are the cornerstone of effective earthing systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and specialized applications.

Combining the strength of a high-tensile steel core with the exceptional conductivity and corrosion resistance of a molecularly bonded copper layer, our grounding rods offer an unparalleled solution for fault current dissipation, lightning protection, and overall electrical safety.

Key Features & Advantages:

• Molecularly Bonded Copper Layer: A permanent, seamless, and non-removable copper coating (typically ≥ 250 microns or 0.25mm) is electrolytically bonded to the steel core. This molecular bond ensures maximum current carrying capacity and prevents separation, chipping, or flaking, even under extreme conditions.
• High-Tensile Steel Core: Constructed from robust, low-carbon steel, our rods possess superior mechanical strength, allowing for deep driving into various soil types without bending, mushrooming, or fracturing.
• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: The pure copper layer provides outstanding resistance to oxidation, rust, and a wide range of corrosive soil chemicals, ensuring consistent performance and an extended service life for decades.
• Superior Electrical Conductivity: The high-purity electrolytic copper (99.9% pure) coating guarantees excellent conductivity, facilitating rapid and efficient dissipation of fault currents and lightning energy into the earth.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Offers performance comparable to solid copper rods but at a significantly lower cost, providing excellent value without compromising safety or reliability.
• UL 467 & International Standard Compliance: Manufactured and tested to stringent international standards, including UL 467, IEEE 80, BS EN 50522, IEC 62561-2, and relevant local specifications, ensuring certified quality and performance.
• Longevity & Durability: Designed for a maintenance-free lifespan of over 30 years, resisting environmental degradation and maintaining optimal grounding performance over time.
• Low Ground Resistance: Contributes to achieving stable and low ground resistance values, critical for sensitive electronic equipment and the protection of personnel.
