Copper Bonded Rod

What is a Copper-Bonded Earth Rod?

• Material Composition: It features a mild steel core for strength and flexibility, coated with a thick layer of copper (usually applied via electroplating).
• Copper Coating: This layer enhances electrical conductivity and provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for long-term grounding applications.

Advantages of Copper-Bonded Earth Rods

1. Enhanced Conductivity: The copper coating ensures low electrical resistance, facilitating efficient fault current dissipation.
2. Corrosion Resistance: The copper layer protects the steel core from environmental factors, extending the rod’s lifespan even in harsh soil conditions.
3. Cost-Effective Durability: Offers the robustness of steel and the conductivity of copper at a lower cost compared to pure copper rods.
4. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial grounding systems.
