Know About Pure Copper Electrode

  • Copper Bonded Rods are manufactured using low carbon steel and are molecularly bonded with 99.9% pure copper. These rods offer high tensile strength, excellent conductivity, and superior corrosion resistance.
  • They efficiently dissipate leakage currents, protecting equipment and infrastructure from potential damage.
  • Each rod is produced in compliance with international quality standards.
  • The copper coating performs well even in harsh soil conditions with high moisture or salt content.
  • Our Earth Enhancing Compound – AP is filled into the bored hole, effectively helping to reduce earth resistance.
  • The most widely used size in copper bonded rods is 17.2 mm. While standard sizes are listed in the table below, we also offer custom sizes based on specific customer requirements.

Specification:-

  • AP rods are available in 2m and 3m lengths with diameters of 14.2 mm, 17.2 mm, and 25 mm, backed by ample ready stock to meet the immediate needs of our valued customers.
  • Copper bonded ground rods are ideal for earth grounding solutions, combining copper’s superior conductivity with the strength of a steel core, resulting in a longer-lasting and highly efficient earthing system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a Copper Bonded Earthing Rod?
A copper bonded rod is a low-resistance, high-strength earthing electrode made of a steel core with a uniformly bonded layer of pure copper (usually 99.9%). It combines the strength of steel and conductivity of copper.
How is it different from a Pure Copper Electrode?
Copper bonded rods are more cost-effective and mechanically stronger than solid copper rods, while still providing excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Where are copper bonded rods used?
These rods are ideal for electrical substations, telecom towers, industrial plants, solar installations, and commercial/residential earthing setups.
What sizes are available for copper bonded rods?
We offer diameters such as 14.2 mm, 17.2 mm, 25 mm, and 50 mm. Length options: 1 mtr, 2 mtr, and 3 mtr.
What is the thickness of the copper bonding layer?
Typically available in 100 microns and 250 microns copper coating thickness.
Is your bonding electroplated or hot dipped?
We use electroplating technology for a uniform, durable, and strong molecular bond between the copper and steel core.
What is the service life of a copper bonded rod?
Typically 15–20 years depending on the soil and installation conditions.
Are your copper bonded rods tested and certified?
Yes, our rods comply with IS:3043 and IEC standards. Lab test reports are available on request.
How should the copper bonded rod be installed?
It should be installed vertically in a borehole filled with a backfill compound like bentonite or a proprietary earthing compound to maintain consistent soil contact and resistance.
Do copper bonded rods require maintenance?
Minimal maintenance is required. Annual earth resistance testing is recommended for optimal performance.
Can these rods be used in all types of soil?
Yes, copper bonded rods perform well in dry, rocky, or high-resistance soil when installed with the right backfill compound.
How are copper bonded rods packed?
Rods are packed individually or in bundles with protective bubble/foam wrapping for damage-free transportation.
Do you offer installation services?
Yes, our technical team provides complete installation and testing support across India.
Can I get a customized size or thickness?
Yes, we provide custom lengths and copper thicknesses as per project requirements.
Do you offer warranty or service life assurance?
We offer a product service life guarantee of 10–15 years depending on usage and soil conditions.
