Prewelded Copper Bonded Rod in Prewelded Copper Rod Set

Prewelded copper bonded rod is a prewelded copper 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 of 2 or 3 meters with three different diameters of 17.2mm, 19mm and 21mm though the diameter of 17.2mm is considered as the standard one. The installation of this product is also easy and the same as other earthing products, for the best result use this earthing rod with ground enhancement earthing product such as BFC, Carbogem, Conductive Gel or CEM. For wiring connections, a copper strip is already welded In this product and that is why it is named as pre-welded copper bonded rod, so there is no need for an additional clamp that is needed for a normal copper bonded rod. 

Measurements:

 

Length	Diameter	Coating	Material	Category
2 meters	17.2mm (Standard)	250 Micron Copper	Copper bonded	Chemical Earthing Product
	19mm
	21mm
3 meters	17.2mm (Standard)
	19mm
	21mm

 

Advantages:

The pre-welded copper bonded rod is one of the best earthing products. There are several advantages of using it

• The resistivity is good.
• The efficiency is almost similar to copper
• The cost is less than the pure copper earthing electrode.
• Long life span.
• No additional clamp is needed, unlike normal copper bonded rods. 
• Impressive durability.
• 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.
