Why Grounding rod and Why is it important?

1. Why Grounding rod? Why is it important? https://www.lightningprotection.com/

2. When developing a lightning protection system, a key part of the installation is proper installation of the grounding system including the grounding rod. Improper grounding contributes to unnecessary downtime, is dangerous and increases the risk of electrical and electronic equipment failure. LEC provides a maintenance free Earthing Solution which is highly reliable approved & complied by all International Standards. The Earthing solution includes grounding rods, ground enhancement material and its accessories. Copper Bonded Grounding Rod The copper bonded grounding rod is the most widely used grounding electrode. It’s driven into the ground to provide electrical connection to the ground to carry current safely away from a circuit in the event of an electrical surge. https://www.lightningprotection.com/

3. We offer a complete line of rods and accessories to meet the industry needs. Heavy copper exterior molecularly bonded to high strength steel cores fully meet the requirements of UL The rods consist of a pure copper jacket of 0.254 mm min. thickness Pit cover made up of concrete or poly plastic for inspection The Chem-Rod from LEC has been proven to be the best and most economical grounding solution. These grounding rods provide consistent, long-term, low resistance interface with true earth. They resist corrosion; take less real estate and uses fewer electrodes to achieve the necessary resistance. They release specially formulated minerals into the surrounding soil, ensuring an ultra-low resistance ground. These Chem-Rods can replace up to 10 conventional grounding rods and some are maintenance free, making it the most effective and economical system. • • • https://www.lightningprotection.com/

4. Earth Enhancement Material Grounding augmentation fill is a low resistivity ground enhancement material for faster transient / fault current dissipation Performs in all soil conditions even during dry periods Maintains constant resistance for the life of the system Non-toxic and environmental friendly and does not adversely affect soil or ground water Lowers the contact resistance to earth Resistivity of 0.5 ohm/meter GAF has a lower freezing point and expansion factor Retains moisture better than local soil. • • Other accessories include • Clamp for connection between grounding rod and the Earth Strip Copper Strip, GI Strip for interconnection between Grounding Rod LECWELD metal is an easy and efficient field welding system Smart Ground is an advanced ground audit system that produces highly accurate results • • • • • • • • • https://www.lightningprotection.com/
