Copper & Gi earthing rod

Copper and Galvanized Iron (GI) earthing rods are essential components in electrical grounding systems, designed to safely disperse electrical faults into the ground and ensure system safety. Copper earthing rods are highly favored for their excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, which ensure effective grounding and long-term reliability even in harsh environmental conditions. These rods are often used in high-demand applications where superior performance and minimal maintenance are critical. On the other hand, GI earthing rods are made from steel coated with a layer of zinc, providing a more cost-effective solution while still offering good corrosion resistance and strength. GI rods are suitable for general grounding applications and are widely used in residential and commercial settings. Both types of earthing rods are installed vertically into the ground, with their effectiveness dependent on proper installation depth, soil conditions, and connection quality. Their primary function is to protect electrical systems and personnel by directing fault currents safely away from sensitive equipment and human contact.
