Copper Bonded Earthing Rod

Also called: copper bonded earth rod, solar earthing rod

A copper bonded earthing rod is the earth electrode of a solar earthing pit: a steel rod with a copper layer bonded to it, set in the ground to give fault and surge currents a low-resistance path to earth. Solenix Solutions supplies 17 mm copper-bonded rods in 1, 2 and 3 m lengths from Jalandhar, Punjab, across India.

Why copper bonded

The steel core is strong enough to drive into the ground, and the copper layer conducts well and resists corrosion in the soil, so the rod keeps a low resistance for years, even in aggressive soil.

Ours are MS (mild steel) with copper bonding, 17 mm, in 1, 2 and 3 m lengths.

Solar earthing with copper bonded rods

Rooftop systems in India are commonly earthed with separate pits for the DC side, the AC side and the lightning arrester; follow the specification for your project or DISCOM. The rod is set in the pit, usually with an earth-enhancing compound around it, and connected to the structure or equipment with a strip or cable.

Longer rods reach damper, lower-resistance soil. Measure the earth resistance after installation, and check it again every year.

Ordering

Rods are packed in bundles; the table above lists the bundle size and minimum order. Earthing strips are sold separately. Send the lengths and quantities on WhatsApp for a same-day rate; strips, lightning arresters and ACDB and DCDB boxes can go in the same order.

Frequently asked questions

How many earthing pits does a rooftop solar system need?

Commonly three: one for the DC side and the panel frames, one for the AC side and the inverter, and one for the lightning arrester. Your project's specification or DISCOM rules decide, so check them before you order.

Which rod length should I choose?

It depends on the soil. Longer rods reach damper ground with lower resistance, and dry or rocky sites may need a longer rod or more than one. We supply 1, 2 and 3 m lengths.

Do the earthing rods come with strips?

No. Earthing strips are sold separately, so add them to your order if you need them.

What is an earth-enhancing compound?

A conductive backfill packed around the rod in the pit. It lowers the earth resistance and keeps it steadier through dry seasons.
