PES Earthing

Copper Bonded Chemical Earthing

Copper bonded chemical earthing is an advanced, highly efficient earthing solution designed to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical systems. This earthing method uses a copper-bonded steel rod that is treated with a specialized chemical compound to enhance the earth resistance. The copper coating provides excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and durability, making it ideal for use in a variety of environments, including industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

The chemical earthing material, typically composed of a blend of conductive chemicals, facilitates superior moisture retention around the earth rod, ensuring consistent and low-resistance grounding, even in areas with dry or rocky soil. This unique combination of copper bonding and chemical treatment helps to maintain long-lasting, efficient earthing, preventing system faults and enhancing electrical safety.

Key benefits of copper bonded chemical earthing include:

  • Durability: The copper-bonded rod prevents corrosion and extends the lifespan of the earthing system.
  • Low Earth Resistance: The chemical compounds ensure low-resistance contact with the earth, improving system performance.
  • Easy Installation: The rods can be easily installed without the need for heavy machinery or specialized tools.
  • Maintenance-Free: Once installed, copper bonded chemical earthing systems require minimal maintenance, providing long-term reliability.

This innovative earthing solution is ideal for protecting electrical systems from surge currents, lightning strikes, and other potential electrical hazards, making it a preferred choice for enhancing safety in both residential and industrial electrical setups.

Rod / Pipe Type Diameter (mm) Length (mm) Application
Standard Rod 17 2000 Residential, Small Commercial
Heavy Duty Rod 25 3000 Industrial, Large Commercial
Extra Heavy Duty Rod 48 3000 High Voltage, High-Performance Systems
Super Heavy Duty Rod 76 3000 Power Plants, Mining, Large Installations

Notes:

  • Diameter: Refers to the thickness of the rod. A thicker rod provides better durability and higher current-carrying capacity.
  • Length: The length of the rod, which determines how deep it can be driven into the ground to achieve optimal grounding. For deep installations, longer rods are used.
  • Allowable tolerance is as per IS 1239(-10%).
