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%).
