Product Description
K.G Sales Corporations Solid Copper Earth Rods are made in two types; Internal and External Threaded. Solid Copper Earth Rods are used where the factor of corrosion is very high and exceptionally long life is required. Hence these rods are manufactured from pure and high conductivity hard drawn copper.Unmatched Durability and Corrosion ResistanceElectrolytically copper-plated with a minimum thickness of 250 microns, our earth rods achieve excellent corrosion resistance and high durability. The combination of a low carbon steel core and a 99.9% pure copper coating ensures resistance to oxidation and environmental stresses, significantly increasing lifespan in challenging installations.
Customizable Installation and Sizing OptionsAvailable in multiple diameters (12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, 17.2 mm, 19 mm) and lengths from 1 to 3 meters, these rods can be tailored to specific site requirements. Threaded or coupler-type connections facilitate both manual and mechanical drive installations, while packaging options include bundles or secure wooden boxes.
Certification and Quality AssuranceOur rods meet stringent standards such as IS:3043 and IEC 62561-2. Each unit undergoes rigorous quality control, ensuring consistent high tensile strength (600 N/mm), hardness (>80 HRB), and a bright polished copper finish, making them reliable choices for safety-critical earthing purposes.
FAQs of copper earth rod:
Q: How are copper earth rods installed, and what are the connection types?
A: Copper earth rods can be installed either manually or using mechanical drive methods, depending on site conditions and project scale. Connection options include threaded or coupler types, enabling secure and flexible integration into various grounding systems as per field requirements.
Q: What benefits does a copper layer thickness of 250 microns offer?
A: A copper layer thickness of at least 250 microns offers superior conductivity and excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation. This ensures a reliable earthing system with a service life of over 30 years, even in harsh soil and climatic conditions, reducing replacement and maintenance costs.
Q: When should I use a copper earth rod for grounding applications?
A: Copper earth rods are suitable for use in any application requiring efficient earthing and protection against electrical surges, such as industrial, commercial, or utility installations. Use these rods during new construction or retrofit projects whenever long-term durability and compliance with IS:3043/IEC 62561-2 standards are necessary.
Q: What is the process of selecting the appropriate size and length of the earth rod?
A: Selection depends on soil resistivity, fault current level, and installation space. Choose from available diameters (1219 mm) and lengths (13 m), and opt for customizations as needed. Consulting with a qualified installer ensures compliance with regulatory and site-specific requirements.
Q: Where are these copper earth rods typically used across India?
A: These rods are widely utilized in substations, telecom towers, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings throughout India for earthing and grounding applications, offering effective protection against lightning and electrical faults in diverse geographic and climatic settings.
Q: How does the rods high tensile strength and hardness contribute to its performance?
A: With a tensile strength of at least 600 N/mm and hardness over 80 HRB, the rods withstand mechanical stress during installation and operation, ensuring reliable performance and minimizing the risk of bending, deformation, or premature failure.
