Key Benefits of Our Grounding Rod Materials

Corrosion Resistance

You can also count on the raw materials used to prepare those grounding rods since they were procured specifically for their non-corrosive characteristics. This property is important for use in extreme conditions where moistures and other chemicals can erode weak materials. The use of our grounding rods also means reduced maintenance expenses since they provide a thorough solution to your grounding problems. following parameters, t.e, length, diameter and material selection. Hence allowing us to serve wider spectrum from construction to telecommunication sectors.

What Grounding Rods Do We Offer?

For defined design concepts and equipment/electrical installation, where there is a possibility of faults in the current through the equipment, namely to experience over load where the excess current needs a path to flow, the ground becomes the most preferred option. The three main conductive materials for grounding rod designs include copper due to its excellent conductive properties, while galvanized steel remains the strong and resistant option. Copper rods are of course more preferred due to their performance; galvanized are chosen if subordinated below first factor on cost, bond etc. Each material possesses some special capability, 

Answers to the Questions from Users on Grounding Rod Materials

What is the life expectancy of the grounding rods?

The life of the grounding rods may differ depending on the type of material used and geological factors of a given region. For instance, copper rods may be effective beyond a span of thirty years while galvanized steel rods are expected to be effective for two decades or more if environmental conditions are suitable.
The effectiveness of any type of grounding application can be obtained when grounding rods are installed at least eight feet below the surface of the soil. In certain situations, however, the soil type dictates the depth of the rods and hence a deeper depth will be used.
Indeed yes. Materials used in the rods made for grounding have a direct bearing in terms of protection from lightning. The lower the resistance of the material, particularly the quality materials the better measures taken towards the dispersion of electric surge.
