A coppercoated earthing rod is a type of grounding electrode used in electrical systems to provide a safe path for fault currents to dissipate into the earth It typically consists of a steel core coated with a layer of copper to enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance Below is the typical product content and features of a coppercoated earthing rod
1 Core Material
HighQuality Steel The core is made of lowcarbon steel providing mechanical strength and durability
Galvanized Steel Optional Some rods may have a galvanized steel core for additional corrosion resistance
2 Copper Coating
Electrolytic Copper Coating The steel core is coated with a layer of highpurity electrolytic copper
Coating Thickness Typically ranges from 250 microns 025 mm to 500 microns 05 mm depending on the application and standards
Uniform Coating Ensures consistent conductivity and protection against corrosion
3 Dimensions
Length Common lengths include 12 meters 24 meters and 3 meters with custom lengths available
Diameter Standard diameters range from 13 mm to 20 mm depending on the application
4 Threaded Ends
Threaded Connections Ends are threaded to allow easy coupling of multiple rods for deeper grounding
Coupling Sleeves Provided for joining rods securel
5 Driving Head
Driving Head A pointed or flat head is included for easy installation into the ground
ImpactResistant Designed to withstand hammering during installation
6 Accessories
Coupling Sleeves Used to connect multiple rods endtoend
Earth Enhancing Compounds Optional compounds to improve soil conductivity around the rod
Clamps and Connectors For attaching conductors to the rod
