What is Electrolytic Grounding?

Electrolytic grounding is a method of grounding electrical systems using electrolytic ground rods, which are copper tubes filled with electrolytic salts. These rods improve the conductivity of the surrounding soil, ensuring a low-resistance electrical path to the earth, even in dry or rocky soil conditions where standard ground rods may fail.

2. Salt Grounding Rod
3. Low Resistance Grounding
4. Ground Enhancement Electrode
5. Maintenance-Free Ground Electrode

7. Grounding system for substations)

1. Copper Grounding Electrode (tube/rod form)
2. Electrolytic Salts (inside the rod)
3. Vents or Holes along the rod’s length for gradual salt release
4. Sealed Top Cap to prevent water ingress
5. Moisture-activated Design – reacts with soil moisture to maintain conductivity

1. Material: High-conductivity copper or copper-bonded steel
2. Length: 1.5m to 3m (custom sizes available)
3. Diameter: 25 mm to 50 mm
4. Fill Material: Copper sulfate, magnesium sulfate, or similar compounds
5. Expected Lifespan: 30+ years depending on soil conditions

1. Performs well in high-resistance soil (rocky, sandy, arid)
2. Consistent performance over time due to electrolyte replenishment
3. Reduces transient voltages and improves surge protection
4. Maintenance-free once installed
5. Useful for lightning protection, telecom, power stations, and sensitive electronics grounding

1. Substations and switchyards
2. Cell towers and communication shelters
3. Industrial and commercial buildings
4. Solar farms and wind turbines
5. Data centers
6. Sensitive electronic equipment grounds

1. Bore a hole in the ground to required depth
2. Place the electrolytic rod vertically
3. Backfill with ground enhancement material (GEM) if needed
4. Connect with a copper grounding conductor
5. Verify ground resistance (target < 5 ohms, ideally < 1 ohm)

As soil moisture penetrates the rod, the salts dissolve slowly and leach out through the vent holes, increasing the soil’s conductivity around the rod. This enhanced conductive zone maintains low resistance grounding, even in poor soil.
