Application Of Copper-clad Grounding Rods In System Protection

In grounding system design, the copper bonded steel rod is a crucial component for protective grounding. It consists of a highly conductive copper layer covering a high-tensile-strength steel core. This structure combines the advantages of different materials, forming a grounding electrode suitable for various soil conditions.

On site, copper clad ground rods was driven vertically into the ground, making good contact with the soil. The copper coated earthing rod provides a direct path for current to the earth, allowing currents such as lightning and abnormal system currents to be introduced into the ground. Through metallurgical bonding between the metals, copper and steel are tightly joined, maintaining stable performance over long-term use.

The copper layer thickness and bonding process are important factors affecting the overall performance of the copper plated ground rod. A uniform copper layer covering the steel core allows the material itself to function effectively in varying soil environments.
