Introduction
Electricity is a good servant but a bad master. Whilst is being used to increase productivity and provide comfort, it could bring disastrous effect to human lives and valuable equipment, as electrical systems are quite complex.
The need for protection, therefore, cannot be overstated.
One of the key factors in an electrical protection measure is grounding.
The most common, economical and reliable grounding system is by driving earthing rods into the ground.
Taipoly Earthing Rod
Taipoly earthing rod is made from high tensile – low carbon steel with molecularly bond by 99.99% pure electrolytic copper jacket. Both ends are threaded and cold rolled to give added strength and driving ease.The materials which TAIPOLY utilizes will provide rugged mechanical strength, high conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance.
Specifications
- Made from high tensile - low carbon grade steel code
- Electroplated with 99.99% pure electrolytic copper
- No separation of copper coating from the steel rod when observed from the fracture ends of the earthing rod (i.e. good bonding between copper coating and the steel rod)
- No cracks will be observed when the copper electroplated steel rods are permanently bent through a 30 degree angle
- Tested to the UL standard - UL 467:1984 - Standard for grounding and bonding equipment
