Available Earth rods in the market are include:<\/p>

  • Copperbond rod<\/li>
  • Copper earth rod<\/li>
  • Stainless steel Earth rod<\/li><\/ul>

    The use of Copper bond earth rod in the earthing system is very effective and economical, and in a way, this rod is considered ideal for the earthing system.\u00a0 To produce this type of rods, the steel core is first acid-washed, deoxidized and degreased, and then pure copper with a purity of over 99.5% and high adhesion to the steel core is deposited. The advantages of this method can be the lack of water penetration between the steel and copper layers pointed out that it makes the steel core completely healthy over time. Also due to the oxidation of the steel core and the absence of fat between the layers, there is an extraordinary mechanical and electrical connection between the steel core and copper is established. The use of this type of rod is common in rocky and hard soils.<\/p>

    Pure copper copper rods with grade C102 are produced according to the standard BS 2874. These rods are used in parts that need corrosion resistance and long life and soils whose pH is below 3 or above 8. To obtain more lengths, the company connect several Earth rods with stainless steel coupling dowels. For easy hammering and to prevent damage to the earth rod threads, you can use the threaded driving head that made of high strength steel.\u00a0 Because of galvanic cells formation, due to the burial of dissimilar metals in close proximity to each other, Stainless steel rod is used.\u00a0 Wires that made of copper or copper coated, due to the heterogeneity, form a galvanic cell and causes corrosion of the structure. Therefore, the best option is to use this type of rods, which are made of stainless steel with grades 304 and 316 according to standard BS970.\u00a0 These rods have a long life and good corrosion resistance in soils with a pH of less than 3 or higher than 8.<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    In earthing systems, clamps have the role of holding or connecting. Using clamps, various types of belts or wires can be fixed in their proper place and a suitable connection can be provided to establish an electric current. It can be made of different metals, but generally these clamps are made of brass, in addition to the quality of materials used. Proper design for these clamps is one of the important factors in the production of this product.\u00a0 The best way to produce earth clamps is to use the Forging method instead of casting.<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      In order to protect the lives of employees and protect equipment and prevent malfunctions of devices against voltages caused by lightning, short circuit and etc, it is necessary to connect the metal body of all devices, masts and even metals in an industrial environment to the Earthing system, which transmits electricity to the ground with the lowest impedance. In previous years, coal and salt were used to reduce the ground resistance, which caused severe corrosion of the joints and the system broke down after a few years.<\/p>

      After that bentonite was used, this is also not recommended according to the standards of IEEE 80-2000, BS7430 and IUT-T because bentonite was separated from the electrode during the dry months of the year and increased resistance. According to standard IEEE 80-2000, the use of low ohm materials is recommended for grounds with high specific resistivity.<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
