A Copper Bonded Earthing Rod is a high-strength steel core rod that is molecularly bonded with a thick layer of electrolytic copper to provide excellent conductivity, superior corrosion resistance, and long service life. This combination of steel’s mechanical strength and copper’s electrical performance makes it a cost-effective and durable solution for grounding and lightning protection systems.

• Material Composition: High-tensile steel core bonded with 99.9% pure copper.

• Bonding Process: Electrolytic molecular bonding for strong adhesion between copper and steel.

• Corrosion Resistance: Copper coating (typically 250–300 microns) prevents rust and degradation.

• Mechanical Strength: Steel core enables easy driving into hard and rocky soils.

• Electrical Performance: Low resistance to earth, ensuring effective fault current dissipation.

• Electrical Earthing Systems – Domestic, commercial, and industrial.

• Lightning Protection Systems – As primary earth electrodes.

• Power Substations & Transmission – For equipment grounding.

• Telecom & Data Centers – Reliable earthing for sensitive electronics.

• Renewable Energy Installations – Grounding for solar farms, wind turbines, etc.

1. Tools & Materials Required

• Copper Bonded Earthing Rod (appropriate length & diameter)

• Driving head / driving stud (to prevent rod damage)

• Coupling dowels (for multiple rod extensions)

• Sledgehammer or mechanical rod driver (jackhammer with rod adaptor)

• Earthing conductor (copper strip or cable)

• Copper earth clamp (threaded or bolted type)

• Measuring tape

• Earth resistance tester (3-point or 4-point method)

• PPE – helmet, safety boots, gloves, safety glasses

2. Site Preparation

1. Select Location

   • Away from underground pipes, cables, or foundations.

   • Preferably in moist, loamy soil for best conductivity.

2. Check Soil Conditions

   • If soil resistivity is high, consider multiple rods or chemical backfill.

3. Mark Rod Position

   • Ensure the area is accessible for testing and maintenance.

3. Installation Steps

1. Position Rod Vertically at the chosen location.

2. Fit Driving Head on top to protect the copper coating from deformation.

3. Drive the Rod

   • Manual Method: Strike the driving head with a sledgehammer in steady blows.

   • Mechanical Method: Use a powered rod driver for deep or rocky soil.

4. Use Couplings for Depth – If one rod isn’t sufficient, attach a second rod with a copper coupling and continue driving until the desired depth is reached.

5. Target Depth – Usually 2.4 m to 3 m or as per design/standard requirement.

4. Electrical Connection

1. Clean Rod Surface – Remove dirt or oxidation from the exposed section.

2. Attach Earthing Clamp – Tighten securely to avoid loosening over time.

3. Connect Conductor – Use copper cable/strip, ensuring direct copper-to-copper contact.

5. Testing & Commissioning

• Use an earth resistance tester to check the installation.

• Acceptable resistance: Typically < 1–5 ohms depending on standard (IEC, IS, NEC).

• Record readings for compliance documentation.

6. Safety Precautions

• Always confirm the absence of underground utilities before installation.

• Use PPE to prevent injury from tools or debris.

• Do not install during thunderstorms or heavy rain.
