Lightning Protection Products

Electricity has provided countless benefits to people, but it still remains one of the most deadly elements readily available in our daily lives, thus it’s important to ground electrical currents to:

- Protect against electrical overboard

- Help electrical currents to safely and efficiently travel throughout your electrical system.

- Stabilize voltage levels

- Provide an earth conductor, thus giving excess electricity a place to go

- Minimize the overload of power that can bring destruction beyond repair.

How does it work?

A ground is usually idealised as an infinite source, which can absorb an unlimited amount of current without changing its potential.

The wiring system is permanently grounded to a metal ‘grounding’ rod driven into the ground. A copper conductor connects this grounding rod to a set of terminals for ground connections in a service panel.

You can usually tell whether your electrical system is grounded by checking your power outlets. If they accept plugs with three pongs, your system should have three wires, one of which is a grounding wire.

What is a grounding rod?

It’s a rod that is driven into the ground to provide electrical connection, so it can carry any electrical surge safely away from the circuit.

A typical grounding system consists of multiple grounding rod connected with mesh or grid networks, ground plates and ground loops. This network dramatically increases the amount of contact with the surrounding earth and lowers ground resistance.

Leveraging on our vast industry experience and knowledge, we have emerged as a notable manufacturer and supplier of Chemical copper bonded grounding rods (Chem-Rod).

Our Chem-Rod (2.625” in diameter) provides a permanent soil treatment solution for a low impedance ground. It comprises of a hollow copper rod into which an electrolytic salt mixture (GAF) is filled. Our grounding rod should be refilled periodically to provide long term soil treatment.

Features:

- Last longer, drive easier and will not crack

- Copper purity is 99.95%

- It is fully covered with copper cladding without any cracks, hole or cavity

- Good tensile strength

- Resists corrosion better than galvanized grounding rods

- Provides the lowest resistance to ground

- It’s suitable treated to prevent oxidation of copper bonding

- Requires less real estate

- Fewer electrodes can meet specified resistance

- Each grounding rod creates an optimal electrical connection to earth with large conductive surface

From the award winning ‘Retractable Grounding Assembly 750’ to the patented Chem-Rod, Lightning Eliminators offer the best of products with a full line of standard ground testing services and more.
