Copper plated steel grounding rod is a type of conductor which has a layer of pure copper metallurgically bonded to a core made of high quality low carbon steel. It is manufactured through a process called electrophoretic deposition (EDP).
Commonly used in the United States for grounding towers, substations and other electrical equipment, these copper clad steel ground rods are available in both single and sectional styles. Their tensile strength is more than 80,000 pounds, making them suitable for driving into the ground in construction.
They are also ideal for use in lightning protection and can be used in conjunction with other grounding products such as lightning rods or down conductors. They are extremely popular among customers as they are cost effective and reliable.
The copper clad steel ground rod can be drilled into the ground and is compatible with soil moisture, temperature, PH value and resistivity changes. This allows them to be buried up to 30 meters underground without any risk of damage to the ground.
Their high tensile strength is also superior to other ground rods of the same length, which can reduce installation and maintenance costs significantly. They are also corrosion resistant, making them an excellent choice for long term use.
Copper clad steel ground rods are produced by a cold rolled and hot drawn production process. This process not only overcomes the defects of the electroplating method, but also ensures a longer molecular connection between the copper layer and the steel core.
They can be welded into the ground with a special connecting pipe or hot-melt welding, and the joint is firm and stable. The copper clad steel ground rod can improve the construction speed and increase the grounding depth.
These ground rods can be inserted into the ground for a variety of applications and can be driven in with a grounding drill or hammer. They are easy to install and have a lifetime of more than 40 years.
Depending on the geology of the area and the requirements, the copper clad steel ground rod can be provided with a coaxial connector, drive head or a drill bit. The drive head can be installed on the entrance side of the ground rod to combat the use of deep wreck, and the drill bit can be used on the top to create a sacrificial anode to protect the copper clad steel ground rod.
Copper clad steel ground rods can be connected to other grounding equipment, such as lightning rods and down conductors. They can be buried up to 30 meters underground without the threat of damage from ground moisture, temperature and resistivity changes. They are also corrosion resistant, making them a reliable choice for grounding equipment in any environment.
