Robust and Corrosion-Resistant DesignThe Electrogrip Earthing Rod features a steel core enveloped in a 250-micron (0.25 mm) copper coating, guaranteeing extremely high resistance to corrosion. This construction provides a high protection level for direct burial installations, ensuring stable electrical grounding performance even in challenging environments.
Extended Lifespan and Consistent PerformanceEngineered for longevity, the rod boasts a life expectancy of over 30 years under normal soil conditions. The premium copper bonding not only enhances durability but also maintains consistent electrical conductivity throughout its service life, safeguarding electrical systems from faults and surges.
Easy Installation for Versatile ApplicationsWith a threaded coupling connection and compatibility with standard copper clamps, the rod is straightforward to install in a range of settings, including industrial, residential, and commercial sites. Its cylindrical design supports direct ground burial, and it operates efficiently at frequencies of 50/60 Hz and voltages up to 440 V.
FAQ's of Electrogrip 3 Meter 250-micron Copper Bonded Earthing Rod:
Q: How do I install the Electrogrip 3 Meter Copper Bonded Earthing Rod?
A: Begin by preparing a borehole at the designated earthing point. Insert the rod vertically using the threaded coupling, and connect it securely with a compatible copper clamp. Ensure the rod makes direct contact with the soil for maximal conductivity, then backfill and compact the soil as needed.
Q: What benefits does the 250-micron copper coating provide?
A: The 250-micron copper bond offers outstanding protection against corrosion, significantly extending the rod's lifespan and maintaining its high conductivity. This coating ensures the rod remains reliable for earthing purposes for more than 30 years under normal soil conditions.
Q: When should I use this earthing rod instead of a solid copper rod?
A: The Electrogrip rod is ideal when you require a cost-effective solution that doesn't compromise on conductivity or durability. It is particularly suitable for direct burial applications in commercial, industrial, or residential earthing systems where high corrosion resistance and long-term performance are essential.
Q: Where can the Electrogrip earthing rod be effectively used?
A: This earthing rod is versatile and can be used across various environments, such as substations, high-rise buildings, factories, telecom towers, and residential complexes. Its IP65 rating (when installed in an enclosure) makes it suitable for outdoor and indoor settings.
Q: What is the process for ensuring high protection level during installation?
A: To achieve a high protection level, install the rod as per the recommended depth and use a copper clamp for secure electrical connections. Cover the installation with appropriate soil backfill and, if required, place the rod within a weather-resistant enclosure for added IP65 protection.
Q: How does the rod ensure efficient grounding at high humidity levels?
A: Designed to operate effectively at humidity levels up to 95% RH, the robust copper coating prevents moisture-induced corrosion, ensuring reliable grounding even in environments with high humidity and varying temperatures.
