  How to Select Earthing Rods

  Whenever you need to install an earthing system for a facility, it is essential to select the right earthing rods. These are used for the purpose of grounding and lightning protection. These can be of different types. These include copper, steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Among them, low carbon steel and copper-bonded steel are the cheapest options. But they are not ideal for deep driving into the ground. Those who want to install the earthing system in their premises should also consider t...

  How to Use Exothermic Welding Powder

  The first step is to prepare the welding chamber. It should be clean and free from debris. Then place two conductors in the Weld cavity. If the tap hole is blocked, use a metallic disc to block it. Next, pour the Exothermic Welding Powder Material. Then, sprinkle starting powder on top of the mould. This process will take approximately 3-4 seconds. Once complete, the resistance will decrease due to the fusion of the two metals. The exothermic welding powder process requires various tools, inclu...

  What is Exothermic Welding Powder

  Exothermic welding is a process that involves heating two or more metals in a mould. This is done to produce a bond that will improve the structural, mechanical, and electrical properties of the joint. This type of welding generally uses graphite moulds to form the joints, as well as electrodes and welding powder. These powders are of the highest quality and are made from copper and aluminium. Exothermic welding powders are made of copper oxide and aluminium and are packed in plastic cartridges...

  Learn About Copper Plated Steel Grounding Rod

  If you are using a copper plated steel grounding rod in a construction project, you should first check that it is UL listed. This certification ensures that the rod has the same amount of zinc coating and the same service life. The UL mark, however, will do little good once the rod is buried. Its long-term performance is the more important factor. Copper-plated steel electrode rods are a great choice for grounding systems because they are extremely durable and corrosion-resistant. To ensure tha...

  The History of Lightning Rods

  Lighting rods were invented in the 17th century in Pennsylvania and were first used to protect buildings from lightning strikes. In the nineteenth century, lightning rods became a decorative motif and were often ornamented with glass balls. These ornaments are now prized collectors' items. Originally, the glass balls served as visual indicators of a lightning strike. When a lightning strikes a building, the glass balls will shatter and fall from the rod, and this should alert the property owner ...
