2-meter Smooth Copper-Plated Steel Earthing Rod – Diameter: 16 mm – ⅝ »
Strategic Choice of Earthing Rod:
Choosing a smooth, 2-meter copper-clad steel earthing rod for a lightning rod grounding system meets several essential criteria. It aims to guarantee efficient dissipation of lightning current, as it offers increased durability and corrosion resistance. This choice also complies with international safety standards, thus ensuring optimal protection.
Technical Specifications of the Rod:
This smooth earthing rod is made of copper-plated steel with a standard 250 µm electrolytic copper plating. It is 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, reference number 34146, complies with UL SPEC 467, IEC 62305, and NFC 17-102:2011 standards, as well as equivalent international standards.
Efficient Current Dissipation:
A 2-meter earthing rod ensures sufficient penetration into the ground, necessary for efficient dissipation of the electrical current. The length directly influences its ability to reduce soil resistance, thus optimizing the dissipation of the lightning current.
Conductivity and Durability:
The use of copper-clad steel, combining robustness and excellent conductivity, offers high mechanical strength and good electrical current transmission. This combination ensures both durability and effectiveness in lightning protection.
Corrosion Resistance:
Copper plating on the steel provides the smooth earthing rod with additional protection against corrosion. This is a major advantage for lightning protection systems exposed to even harsh environmental conditions, as this protection ensures a longer lifespan for the grounding system.
Diameter Selection and Customization:
Finally, it is essential to choose the diameter of the smooth, copper-clad 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 grounding system. Our product is also available in a 16 mm diameter to suit various installation requirements.
