Electrogrip 2 Meter 250-Micron Copper Bonded Earthing Rod
Copper bonded rod is another earthing 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.

Material details of Copper Earthing Rod:
Copper bonded rod is generally made with high tensile steel with a 250 micron of copper coating. This is a solid rod with a sharp point and threaded structure at the top portion. You need an additional clamp to connect with it. It is available in two lengths of 2 meters and 3 meters. The diameter can be of 17.2mm, 19mm or 21mm, though 17.2mm dia is considered as the standard.
Working principle of Copper Bonded Rod:
We use high tensile steel and to increase the conductivity it is coated with 250 microns of pure copper. We have sealed both the ends of the rod properly.
At the time of fault on an electrical circuit, the leakage current flows through the ground wire. When it reaches the copper strip, it gets distributed to the rod and the flow ends to the ground. In this way, Copper bonded rod or copper earthing rod saves your valuable electrical devices and also your life from any electrical hazards.
Installation:
The installation of all earthing products is more or less the same. One needs to dig a hole of approximately 8 to 10 inch wide and 1.8 or 2.8 meters deep. one can do the installation by following the steps. The copper bonded rod will be at the centre part of the hole and the rest will be filled up with earthing chemical compounds such as BFC, conductive gel, CEM or carbogem. If you are failing to decide which chemical compound to use we can also help you with that all you need to provide is the type of soil in your area. Whether the soil is rocky or normal or moist or dry, depends on the soil type we suggest the proper chemical compounds.
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.
