Earth Rods
Earth rod is a rod composed of elements that conduct electricity used in earthing systems. Any incidence of electrical surge can pose
dangers of electrocution, especially during lightning. To prevent this, Earth Rod is installed into the ground so that any excess current
drifts towards the earth.
The earthing rods and accessories are important safety components and should be installed with great caution. These are essentially
electrodes made of metal and are vulnerable to corrosion. That’s why the earth rods are made corrosion-resistant so they can be kept
concealed in the ground for a long time.
