Copper-clad steel earth rods are widely used in grounding and earthing systems to provide a safe path for electrical currents to dissipate into the ground.
Advantages Over Other Materials:
- Cost-Effective: Cheaper than solid copper rods but offers similar performance.
- Durability: Resists mechanical stress during installation (hammering).
Installation Tips:
- Depth: Typically installed 2.4m–3m deep, but depends on soil resistivity.
- Multiple Rods: Spaced at least twice their length for optimal grounding.
- Connections: Use exothermic welding or high-pressure clamps for low-resistance joints.
