Description

Copper Bonded Rod in Copper Bonded Rod Set

Copper bonded rod is a copper bonded rod set product for electrical safety by Electrogrip. These rods are made of high tensile steel with a 250-micron copper coating. It can be 2 or 3 meters with three different diameters of 17.2mm, 19mm and 21mm. The diameter of 17.2mm is considered as the standard one. An additional clamp is required for connecting the wire at the threaded part on top. The working efficiency of this product is really good. Due to its durability and very low maintenance requirements, it has become very popular earthing or grounding equipment. It has a lot of positive characteristics, which makes you choose this product but don’t forget to get the additional clamp that is must for doing the connection.

 Advantages:

After the copper earthing rod, Copper bonded rod is one of the best earthing products. There are several advantages of using it

• The efficiency is almost similar to copper
• The resistivity is also good
• The cost is a little less than the pure copper earthing electrode.
• Life span is long.
• The durability is also impressive.
• It requires very little maintenance. 

 

Earth Enhancing Compound ( Electrogrip BFC )

 

The main motto of using earth enhancing compounds is to make the flow of leakage current quicker so that the leakage current can be grounded within no time. It enhances the resistivity of the soil. This earth enhancing material is also known as Electrogrip Back Fill Compound or BFC. You will also be provided with the backfill compound material details. Besides manufacturing earthing rods Electrogrip also sells ground enhancing chemicals. 

BFC is a white powder that is made from several conductive components such as  Aluminium, Calcium Oxide, Magnesium Oxide, Sodium Oxide, Sulphate, Carbon etc. With resistivity of only 0.24 ohm-m, it allows the leakage current to flow to the ground easily without any interruption. Its anti-corrosive property also helps the earthing rod or earthing electrode stay as it is for a long time and increases the life-span. It needs to be used by mixing with water. Do not pour water on it as it will form clots, stir well by pouring the powder into water.

Advantages:

Earth enhancing compound or BFC is one of the most popular earthing chemicals due to several advantages

• Enhances the resistivity of the soil
• Allows the leakage current to flow in a better way
• Retain moisture to maintain a certain resistivity of the soil.
• Anti-corrosive, which makes the longevity of the earthing product.
