Advance Copper Bonded Electrodes

Copper Bonded Earth Rods Earthing rods Grounding Accessories Earthing Rod Specialist in Copper Rods, Copper Pipe, Ground Rods, Copper Earthing Electrodes. Low impedance grounding is essential to protect transmitting facilities and personnel from external or internal electrical anomalies. Copper clad driven ground rods are often insufficient due to high ground resistively or a limited installation area.

With the incorporation of innovative designs and implementation of cutting edge technology, we offer a broad range of Copper Bonded Earth Rods. These products offer cost effective and efficient earth rod grounding system. These reliable earth rods are are corrosion resistant and eliminate electrolytic action. Our products are formed of the following:

• Uniformly bonded pure copper electrolyte.
• High tensile steel core of thickness 0.254 mm.
• Coupling threads ensure thread strength and maintain integrity of the bonded copper.

Features

With the incorporation of latest technology and skilled workforce, we offer a range of Copper Electrodes. These products offered by us have remarkable resistance against corrosion and ensure uniform earth contact resistance during their entire lifetime. Some other features of our products are:

• Optional electrical conductivity.
• High mechanical strength.
• Allow connection to Earthing systems like foundation Earthing and others.

How to Install

Normal soil :

Augur / Drill / Bore a hole of 8 - 10 inches in diameter to a suitable depth of 2 or 3 meters (Electrode length)

• Mix JAM Fill compound nicely with dug out soil.
• Throw handful of compound soil mix into pit.
• Remove plastic sleeve carefully from electrode.
• Place naked electrode at center of pit.
• Start refilling empty space around electrode with backfill compound in small quantities.
• Then pour some water and poke the pit with a long wooden rod, to allow trapped air to escape.
• In this manner gradually continue refilling process till electrode is buried in the pit, up to the green patch painted on the top portion of electrode.
• Ensure that pit is not watery.
• Pack electrode with compound nicely and tightly, so that it stands firmly in pit.
• Pour a few buckets of water around pit.
• Test earth resistivity of electrode. If result is satisfactory, connect it with equipment.
• If result is not satisfactory, give some time for electrode system to set in soil.
• Then check ohmic value and connect with equipment.
• In hard soil conditions, do not mix compound with dug out soil, and follow above procedure.
• If auguring is not possible up to 3 meters inform customer/dealer.
• Pour a few buckets of water around the pit everyday for 10 - 15 days for system to set.

Important:

• Do not Drop Earthing electrode in pit.
• Do not use force to drive electrode into pit.
• Do not hammer or cut electrode while installing.
• Remove the transparent plastic cover before installation.
• Ensure that electrode terminal and green color patch are above the soil.
• Apply petroleum jelly on terminal and terminal hole.
• Ensure that the entire length of electrode always remains buried in soil.
• During peak summer months pour a few buckets of water in and around electrode for a few days. If you are in doubt, contact our dealer.
• If soil in pit sinks, fill it with good soil.

Sandy & Rocky Areas :

Dig a trench of 6' x 6' and 11' deep; fill the entire pit with black cotton soil or normal soil, pour enough water so that pit is full with water, leave it for three days so that soil soaks up the water. You will notice that soil level has gone down and again top up the pit with soil & fill the water. Now after two or three days this pit is sturdy and ready for Earthing purpose. Our Earthing electrode can be installed as per installation method for normal soil given above.

Rocky/Semi-Rocky Soil:

If enough soil is there then Earthing can be done by normal method as above, otherwise follow the method as in case of sandy soil. Once installed properly JMV Safe Earthing Electrode gives much better earth resistance value than conventional Earthing systems over a period of time. However, it is important to recognize the fact that characteristics of soil play a major role in determining the earth resistance value, and as per Indian/British Standards, in high resistive soil it requires more than one earth electrode installed and connected in parallel to bring down the earth resistance value within safe limits.

Advantages

• Upto 250 micron CU Bonded on Steal
• Life Span: Due to 250 micron CU Bonded life is much more than GI & Cu Earthing   Rods
• High Conductivity with High Strength
• Cost Effective as comparison to life span & CU Rods
• Highly Reliable in long Span
