Product Description

Description

Earth rods and their fittings are used to provide the interface to ground in all soil conditions in order to achieve satisfactory earthing systems in overhead and underground electricity distribution and transmission networks - providing high fault current capacity on low, medium and high voltage substations, towers.

If a charged ebonite rod is earthed electrons flow from earth to the ebonite rod if it is positively charged and if it is negatively charged electrons move from the rod to the earth.

The only purpose of a ground rod or a group of ground rods forming a ground field is to have a designed electrical path to dissipate a static discharge voltage (which can be lightning or other forms of static electricity) to the earth.

They can be used for both overhead and underground networks to achieve optimum earthing for distribution and transmission. 

Grounding rods are a critical component of electrical grounding systems. They safely conduct fault currents into the surrounding soil, helping to prevent damage to facilities and equipment and avoiding electric shock to nearby people and livestock. Grounding rods are also used to control voltage distribution underground to reduce the risk of step voltage and contact voltage.

Grounding rods are constructed from high-strength steel, allowing them to penetrate deep into the ground. All UL-certified grounding rods have a copper layer thickness of at least 254 microns, ensuring adequate corrosion resistance.
