unThreaded Copperbond Earth Rod

Furse rb317

Unthreaded copperbond earth rods take advantage of lower resistivity soils at greater depths than normal excavation will allow, whilst earth plates are used to attain an effective earth in shallow soils with underlying rocks. Earth plates can also be used in locations with large amounts of buried services, as well as provide protection in potentially dangerous places e.g. HV switching positions.

Quality RB317 earth rods are commonly made from either copperbonded steel, solid copper or stainless steel. Solid copper and stainless steel rods offer a very high level of corrosion resistance at the expense of lower strength and higher cost.
