      Description


      Premium Copper Bonded Earthing Rod | Superior Grounding Solution

      Safeguard your electrical systems and ensure the longevity of your assets with our high-performance Copper Bonded Earthing Rods. Engineered for optimal conductivity and exceptional corrosion resistance, these rods provide a reliable and long-lasting earthing solution for a wide range of applications.

      Product Overview

      Our Copper Bonded Earthing Rods are meticulously manufactured using a low-carbon, high-tensile steel core onto which a uniform, molecularly bonded layer of pure electrolytic copper is applied. This unique combination offers the mechanical strength of steel with the superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper, making them an ideal and cost-effective alternative to solid copper rods. Designed to meet stringent international standards, our rods ensure efficient dissipation of fault currents and provide critical protection against electrical hazards.

      Key Features & Benefits

      • Robust Dual-Material Construction:
        • High Tensile Steel Core: Provides exceptional mechanical strength, allowing for deep driving into the ground without bending, mushrooming, or fracturing, even in tough soil conditions.
        • Molecularly Bonded Copper Layer: A minimum of 250 microns (or specified thickness) of 99.9% pure electrolytic copper is permanently bonded to the steel core, ensuring perfect electrical continuity.
      • Superior Electrical Conductivity: The copper layer offers excellent low-resistance pathways for fault currents, ensuring rapid and safe dissipation into the earth.
      • Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Copper's natural resistance to oxidation and corrosion ensures a long operational lifespan, even in aggressive soil chemistries, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
      • Cost-Effective Solution: Offers comparable performance to solid copper rods at a significantly lower cost, providing excellent value for money without compromising on safety or reliability.
      • Permanent Bond: The molecular bonding process ensures the copper layer will not crack, peel, or separate from the steel core, even under dynamic stress or during installation.
      • Low Maintenance & Long Lifespan: Designed for durability and consistent performance over decades, leading to reduced maintenance costs and enhanced system reliability.
      • Threaded for Extendability (Optional): Available with internal or external threads for easy coupling, allowing for customization of rod length to achieve desired earth resistance values.
      • Compliance with Industry Standards: Manufactured to meet or exceed international standards such as UL 467, IEEE 80, BS 7430, and IS 3043, ensuring quality and performance.
