Meet The Best Low Resistant, High-Quality Grounding Rod
You have decided to install a lightning protection system, including a grounding rod and surge protection device, in your facility. By doing this, you know that it will protect people from electrical shock, help safeguard expensive electronic equipment, limit neutral to ground voltage, and satisfy NEC along the way.
Now, the big question is, which is the best low-resistant, high-quality grounding rod?
An efficient grounding system is critical to personnel safety and uninterrupted operations. However conventional ground rods are typically insufficient for industrial uses where target resistance can be less than 1 ohm.
An earthing system or grounding system connects specific parts of an electrical installation with the Earth's conductive surface for safety and functional purposes. Regulations for earthing systems vary considerably among countries, though many follow the recommendations of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Engineered to meet applicable design and safety standards, the Chem-Rod, a patented grounding rod by LEC, is uniquely suited for both general grounding and as the foundation of a complete lightning protection system. The Chem-Rod solves problems found with conventional ground rods by requiring less real estate and fewer electrodes to meet specified resistance.
This grounding rod is constructed to comply with UL requirements. Our Chem rod is a large copper tube with extremely low AC impedance, and each Chem-Rod creates an optimal electrical connection to the earth with a large conductive surface. The earth/electrode interface is further enhanced by conductive backfill and electrolytic salts, ensuring a consistent path to the ground.
