Earth Rod Assembly Description

Copper-clad earth rod is manufactured from a steel rod reference symbol P of a grade with a tensile strength of 550MPa to 700MPa in accordance with BS PD 970:2005 standard requirements.

An earth electrode is designed to have a loading capacity adequate for the system of which it forms a part, it is capable of dissipating the electrical energy in the earth path at the point at which it is installed under any condition of operation on the system.

Copper-clad steel earth rod is made by molecularly bonding 99.9% pure copper onto the high carbon, low tensile steel rods to achieve a minimum copper thickness of 0.254mm. The application of the copper sheath prevents any electrolytic action to be initiated by moisture ingress between the copper and the steel.
