SURYA POWER INDUSTRIES COPPER BONDED SOLID EARHING RODS

A Copper Bonded Solid Earthing Rod is a type of grounding electrode used for electrical earthing systems to safely dissipate fault currents and lightning strikes into the ground. Here's a breakdown of its features and specifications:

What Is a Copper Bonded Solid Earthing Rod?

It is a mild steel core rod with a copper coating (bonding) applied through an electroplating process. Unlike a solid copper rod (which is pure copper), the bonded rod combines strength with cost-effectiveness.

 Key Features

• Core Material: Low carbon/mild steel
• Copper Thickness: Typically 100–250 microns (depending on standards)
• Length: Common lengths are 1.2 m, 1.5 m, 2.4 m, and 3 m
• Diameter: Typically 14.2 mm, 16 mm, 17.2 mm, 25 mm, etc.
• Copper Purity: 99.9% pure copper bonding
• Coating Process: Electrolytic copper bonding ensures high adhesion and corrosion resistance

 Advantages

• Cost-Effective: Less expensive than pure copper rods
• Corrosion Resistant: Long service life in various soil conditions
• High Tensile Strength: Withstands mechanical stress
• Low Electrical Resistance: Effective earthing performance

 Applications

• Electrical power systems
• Lightning protection systems
• Telecommunication grounding
• Industrial and residential grounding

 Compliance Standards

• IEEE 80
• UL 467
• BS 7430
• IS 3043

• Clamps (U-bolt, G-clamp)
• Ground enhancement material (Bentonite, GEM)
• Earth pit covers
• Exothermic welding kits (for permanent connections)
