Product Description
Product Description
Earth Rod / Ground RodGROUND ROD
A ground rod is a long metal rod driven into the ground to provide a path for electrical current to escape. When a fault occurs, excess electrical energy needs a safe path to dissipate. A ground rod helps prevent the dangers associated with static discharge voltages, reducing the risk of damage during storms. It is connected to the electrical system's switchboard via a ground wire, ensuring that excess electrical current has a safe path to escape to the earth.
earth rod thickness of the copper layer is more than 0.254mm.
The advantages are good tensile strength more than 600N/mm²
Our ground rods can be bended through a 30 or 90 or 135 degrees angle.and the rods will be no evidence of cracking or splitting of the steel or the copper cladding.
Good in anti corrosion that usage-life is more than 50 years or more, constant low resistance and good plasticity which had the characteristics of copper as well as steel.
Our earth rods take advantage of lower resistivity soils at greater depths than normal excavation will allow, can also be used in locations with large amounts of buried services, as well as provide protection in potentially dangerous places e.g. HV switching positions.
GROUND ROD MATERIALS
Copper: Copper is typically the most commonly used material for a ground rod. These rods are created by coating a steel core with copper. Copper-clad ground rods have a longer lifespan than those made from other materials.
Stainless steel: Ground rods made from stainless steel are expensive but highly corrosion-resistant. Therefore, it is ideal for environments with high salt content.
Galvanized steel: Galvanized steel ground rods are produced by applying a protective zinc coating to a steel base to guard against rust. These represent a more economical alternative among ground rods, though they do not match the reliability of copper options.
GROUND ROD INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Length: When installed vertically, the ground rod must be driven at least eight feet (2.45 m) deep into the soil, meaning the length of the rod extending below the ground surface should not be shorter than eight feet from the surface. This ensures that the rod is in contact with moist soil, which has lower resistance than dry soil. Grounding rod sizing regulations necessitate that the standard length for residential use is usually 8 feet, while for commercial or industrial applications or in areas with high soil resistivity, longer rods may be required for effective grounding.
Diameter: Common diameters for ground rods range from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch (15 - 23 cm). Larger diameters have a lower resistance to earth but are more expensive and more difficult to drive into the ground.

THE ROLE OF A GROUND ROD IN A GROUNDING SYSTEM
* PROTECTION IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
In electrical wiring, ground rods are used to establish a grounding system. The rod is driven into the ground and connected to the grounding conductor of an electrical circuit or the ground terminal of electrical equipment. This helps to safely dissipate electrical faults, lightning strikes, and static electricity into the Earth, preventing electrical shock hazards and equipment damage.
* LIGHTNING PROTECTION
Ground rods are a key component of lightning protection systems. Lightning rods and conductors are connected to ground rods to provide a path for lightning strikes to safely dissipate into the ground, reducing the risk of fire or structural damage.
* TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Ground rods are used in telecommunications systems to provide a common ground reference for various equipment and protect against voltage surges and electromagnetic interference.
GROUND WIRE CONNECTION:
The ground rod must be connected to the building or structure's electrical grounding system using a grounding conductor. The grounding conductor must be at least 8 feet (about 2.4 meters) long and made of copper or galvanized steel.
MULTIPLE GROUND RODS:
The entire grounding system design may require multiple ground rods to provide adequate grounding. When multiple ground rods are used, they should be spaced at least 6 feet (about 1.8 meters) apart, as specified by the Electrical Code (NEC).
APPLICATIONS
Ground rods are used to provide an electrical path to discharge static discharge voltage to ground. Our steel/copper ground rods
are pointed on one end for easy insertion into the ground.
The conductor can be connected to the ground rod using a clamp or exothermic welding.
SOIL CONDITIONS:
Soil resistivity is critical to the effectiveness of a ground rod. Burying a ground rod 8 feet (about 2.4 meters) in rocky or very dry soils may be challenging and may require alternative methods such as horizontal mounting or using multiple ground rods.
Each rod is made of 99.9% pure electrolytic copper onto a low-carbon steel core. The threads are formed by a cold rolling process which ensures strength and maintains the molecularly bonded copper covering along the full length of the threads. High tensile strength and conductivity. The standard copper thickness is 254 micron(others also can make as the customer requested)

1.Plasticity of coating:
Is tested by bending the rod at 180 degree. Lack of cracks and exfoliation goes to show high quality of our product. Frequency of these tests is specified by procedures of the quality control system.2.Copper Thickness:
Measured by an electronic thinkness guage at the points and with frequency specified in the instruction, which guaranteed minimal thickness (0.254 mm). This thickness enables to perform the thread after copper bonding, so as the botttom of the thread is covered with copper.
