Copper rods and electrodes are suitable for deep driving into most ground conditions and provide a low resistance path to ground. ... Earth rods manufactured from stainless steel are installed to prevent galvanic corrosion which occurs between buried dissimilar metals in close proximity.

RS Engineering Solutions is one of the foremost manufacturer of Copper rod. Our Highly experienced team and state of art techniques help us to serve you with customizable units of Copper rod for your valuable utilities. Our Copper rod are RDSO comply - RDSO/PE/SPEC/PSO109-2008 with different dimensions and sizes.

Where additional driven earth rods are combined and connected they should be separated from each other and from any adjacent cables by a distance not less than the depth to which they are driven. Additional earth rods should be connected using copper tape or bare copper cable of the same cross sectional area as the earth electrode conductor. The additional electrodes should be placed so that any necessary separation of the LV and HV earth electrode systems is maintained.

Copper is the optimal choice of earth electrode material and underground conductor – solid copper is recommended for high fault current installations whereas copper bonded rods are usually installed for smaller sections.

Copperbonded steel core earth rods are the most specified due to electrical and mechanical strength, resistance to corrosion as comparatively lower cost compared to solid copper or stainless steel types – the lowest cost galvanised rods for usually installed non-critical, short-term or temporary earthing requirements.
