Why are copper bonded rods preferred over pure copper rods in many installations?
In grounding systems, the material selection has significant influences on performance as well as economy. Copper bonded earthing rods now find favor in most installations against pure copper rods because of their optimum blend of strength, durability, and economy. The rods consist of a high-tensile steel core molecularly bonded with a heavy coat of copper, which provides the advantages of both worlds—good electrical conductivity of copper and high mechanical strength of steel.
One of the primary benefits is cost-effectiveness. Pure copper rods, though excellent conductors, are pricey and softer and therefore more susceptible to bending or getting damaged while installing them in rocky or hard ground. Copper bonded rods are cheaper and may be easily driven deep into the ground without sacrificing strength. Secondly, the copper layer offers superior corrosion resistance, with reliable constant conductivity and extended service life, even in high soil resistivity conditions.
Pioneer Powers International produces high-quality copper bonded earthing rods conforming to international quality standards, providing dependable grounding performance for residential, commercial, industrial, and renewable projects. Opting for copper bonded technology guarantees maximum safety, less maintenance, and long-term cost benefits.
