Advanced Corrosion Resistance and LongevityWith a uniform electrolytic copper bonding of 100-250 microns, these rods exhibit exceptional corrosion resistance, making them ideal for aggressive soil environments. The design promises a life span exceeding 30 years in typical ground conditions, ensuring minimized maintenance and reliable performance for various earthing systems.
Ultra-low Earth Resistance and High EfficiencyExtensive copper bonding and the use of Electrogrip BFC GEM (Back Fill Compound)-a moisture-retaining, conductive enhancer-ensure consistently low earth resistance. Suitable for both industrial and residential settings, this solution achieves over 95% earthing efficiency, safeguarding installations from electrical faults and lightning strikes.
Eco-friendly and Easy InstallationThe BFC GEM compound is environmentally friendly, chemical-free, and safe for use around water sources and ecosystems. Installation is straightforward: rods are directly driven into the earth using a hammer or hydraulic ram, and BFC GEM is packed around them for enhanced conductivity. This method offers a maintenance-free and sustainable grounding system.
FAQ's of Copper Bonded Rod with Electrogrip BFC GEM:
Q: How is the Copper Bonded Rod with Electrogrip BFC GEM installed?
A: Installation involves directly driving the cylindrical copper bonded rod into the earth using a hammer or hydraulic ram. The 25kg BFC GEM Back Fill Compound is then packed around the rod to further enhance conductivity and earth contact, making the process straightforward and minimizing maintenance.
Q: What are the key benefits of using Electrogrip BFC GEM Back Fill Compound?
A: BFC GEM enhances the electrical performance of the earthing system by retaining moisture, reducing soil resistivity, and promoting optimal conductivity. Being environmentally friendly and chemical-free, it prevents soil contamination while delivering reliable low-resistance grounding.
Q: When should I choose copper bonded rods with BFC GEM for an earthing system?
A: This solution is ideal for aggressive or varied soil conditions, sites requiring high corrosion resistance, or where long-term maintenance-free operation is needed, such as industrial plants, data centers, and residential developments requiring robust protection against electrical faults and lightning.
Q: Where can the copper bonded earthing rods be used?
A: They are suitable for a wide variety of settings including industrial facilities, residential premises, substations, and lightning protection systems. The IP68 rating ensures suitability for underground installations, even in wet or highly humid conditions.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the copper bonded rod with BFC GEM, and what affects it?
A: The system is engineered for a service life of over 30 years under typical soil conditions. Factors contributing to its longevity include the thick copper bonding (100-250 microns), high tensile steel core, and the protective properties of the BFC GEM, all of which provide resilient, corrosion-resistant operation.
Q: How does copper bonding thickness influence performance and reliability?
A: A copper bonding thickness of 100-250 microns ensures durable protection against corrosion, a stable and low-resistance connection to earth, and an extended operational life, even under harsh environmental and soil conditions.
