4G Copper Bonded Earthing Rod - Premium Grounding Solution

Product Overview

Ensure unparalleled safety, reliability, and performance for your critical infrastructure with our 4G Copper Bonded Earthing Rod. Specifically engineered for demanding grounding applications, this rod is the ultimate solution for dissipating fault currents, lightning strikes, and transient overvoltages, protecting sensitive equipment and personnel.

Ideal for the stringent earthing requirements of modern 4G (and 5G) telecom installations, data centers, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings, our copper bonded rod combines the superior conductivity of copper with the robust strength of steel, offering an economical yet high-performance grounding solution.

Key Features & Benefits

• Superior Electrical Conductivity: Features a thick, molecularly bonded layer of 99.9% pure electrolytic copper over a high-tensile steel core. This ensures optimal low resistance path for fault currents, efficiently dissipating energy into the earth.
• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: The uniform copper bonding provides an excellent barrier against corrosion, even in aggressive soil conditions. This significantly extends the rod's lifespan compared to galvanized alternatives, ensuring long-term grounding integrity.
• High Mechanical Strength: The robust steel core offers superior rigidity and tensile strength, allowing the rod to be driven deep into various soil types without bending, mushrooming, or de-lamination of the copper layer. This ensures easy and reliable installation.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Offers performance comparable to solid copper rods at a fraction of the cost. It's an economical choice without compromising on safety or efficiency.
• Meets International Standards: Manufactured in strict accordance with leading international earthing standards such as IEC 62561-2, UL 467, and IEEE 80, guaranteeing a product of proven quality and performance.
• Versatile & Adaptable: Available in various diameters and lengths, and can be supplied with threaded ends for easy coupling, allowing for installations to greater depths to achieve desired earth resistance values.
• Low Maintenance: Once installed, the inherent durability and corrosion resistance of the copper-bonded rod minimize the need for frequent inspection or replacement, reducing overall operational costs.

Installation

Our Copper Bonded Earthing Rods are designed for straightforward installation. They can be manually driven into the ground using a hammer and driving head, or with power-driven tools for faster deployment. For achieving lower earth resistance or reaching specific soil layers, rods can be easily coupled together using threaded couplers to extend their length. Always ensure to use appropriate earth rod clamps to connect the earthing conductor securely.
