Description
2 meter Plain Copper Steel Earthing Rod – Diameter: 16 mm – ⅝”
Strategic Choice of the Earthing Rod:
The choice of a 2 meter plain earthing rod in copper-plated steel for a lightning rod earthing system meets several essential criteria. It aims to guarantee effective dissipation of lightning current. Because it offers increased durability and corrosion resistance. This choice also complies with international safety standards, and thus ensures optimal protection.
Technical Characteristics of the Rod:
This plain earthing rod is made of copper-plated steel, benefiting from a normative electrolytic copper plating of 250 µm. It measures 2000 mm long, with an actual diameter of 14.2 mm and a nominal diameter of 16 mm, and weighs 2.4 kg. This product, referenced under number 34146, complies with UL SPEC 467, IEC 62305 and NFC 17-102:2011, as well as international equivalent standards.
Effective Current Dissipation:
A 2 meter earthing rod ensures sufficient penetration into the ground, necessary for an effective dispersion of electric current. The length directly influences its ability to reduce ground resistance, thereby optimizing lightning current dissipation.
Conductivity and Durability:
The use of copper-plated steel, combining robustness and excellent conductivity, offers high mechanical resistance and good transmission of electrical current. This combination ensures both durability and effectiveness in lightning protection.
Corrosion resistance:
The copper plating of the steel gives the plain earthing rod additional protection against corrosion. Therefore, it is a major asset for lightning rod installations exposed to even harsh environmental conditions. In fact, this protection guarantees increased longevity of the earthing system.
Choice of Diameter and Customization:
Finally, it is essential to choose the diameter of the plain copper-plated steel earthing rod according to the specific needs of the installation, taking into account safety standards, environmental conditions and the technical characteristics of the lightning rod earthing system. Our product is also available in 16mm diameter to suit various installation requirements.
