Earthing Rods & Accessories

Copper earth rods offer the contractor the best and most economical earth rods for structural earthing and lightning protection – earth rods are designed for use where extremely high corrosion resistance and long service life are required.

Earth rods and their fittings are used to provide the interface to ground in all soil conditions in order to achieve satisfactory earthing systems in overhead and underground electricity distribution and transmission networks – providing high fault current capacity on low, medium and high voltage substations, towers and power distribution applications.

Copper earth rods are produced from solid copper bar and are internally threaded for jointing – when deep driving a solid copper earth rod the usual practice is to insert the rod into a bore hole and backfill with either low resistance earthing compound or Bentonite.

Copper earth rods provide effective earthing for all site conditions and are manufactured from 99.9% copper with excellent corrosion resistance and very high tensile strength.

Earth rods take advantage of lower resistivity soils at greater depths than normal excavation will allow – used in conjunction with copper earth plates they are used to attain an effective earth in shallow soils or in locations with large amounts of buried services eg high voltage switching positions.

Other type of earthing rods are-

• Solid Copper

• Copperbond

• Galvanised Steel

• Stainless Steel
