COPPER BONDED ROD
The earth rod is an electrical component used in earth
electrodes of earthing circuits. The function of the earth electrodee is to dissipate
the fault current through the contact made with the ground. The dissipation of the fault
current depends on the characteristics of the soil where the earth electrodee is buried.
The nature, moisture content and granulation of the soil are all factors that influence
the resistivity of the soil. The earth resistance is improved by using one or more earth
rods directly connected to the earthing conductor. Therefore, the material, diameter,
length of the rods but also the connection means used to connect the rod to the earth
conductor are parameters to be taken into account when choosing the earth rod.
