Earthing Systems
Earth rods, earth plates, inspection pits, clamps, bonds and earth bars from CASK STEEL: everything needed to give fault and lightning currents a safe, low-resistance path into the ground. Manufactured at our factory in Dilovası, Kocaeli.
Why earthing matters
Earthing (grounding) connects electrical systems and structures to the ground. In the event of an electrical fault or a lightning strike, the earthing system gives the excess current a low-resistance path to dissipate safely. This prevents dangerous voltages that cause electric shock and fires, and protects sensitive equipment from surges.
A complete earthing system from CASK STEEL includes:
- Earth rods and conductor systems
- Mechanical earth clamps and bonds
- Exothermic welding (CASKWeld)
- Earth bars and equipotential bonding
Earth electrodes (earth rods)
Different lengths are supplied on request, and couplers can be provided separately.
| Type | Diameters | Lengths | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid copper rod | 15 and 20 mm | 1,200 to 3,000 mm | Hard drawn from 99.99% pure copper cathodes, ideal for soils with high salt and moisture content |
| Stainless steel rod | 12, 14, 16 and 20 mm | 1,200 to 3,000 mm | Overcomes galvanic corrosion caused by dissimilar buried metals |
| Copper-bonded rod, threaded | 14.2 and 17.2 mm (15 and 20 mm thread) | 1,200 to 3,000 mm | Extendable to depth with couplers |
| Copper-bonded rod, unthreaded | 14.2 and 17.2 mm | 1,200 to 3,000 mm | Single-length installations |
| Galvanized steel rod | 12, 14, 16 and 20 mm | 1,200 to 3,000 mm | Threaded and unthreaded |
Rod accessories: hardened steel spikes, driving studs and coupling dowels for 15 and 20 mm copper rods and 16 and 20 mm stainless steel rods.
Earth plates, mesh and backfill
Inspection pits
Polymer inspection pits with grey, black or concrete lids, and 320 × 320 × 190 mm concrete pits. PVC single and double flange earth rod seals, 5 and 7 hole earth bars.
Earth plates and mesh
Solid copper or stainless steel earth plates, 600 × 600 and 900 × 900 mm, 1.5 or 3 mm thick. Copper and stainless steel earth lattice, mesh and mats where rods cannot be driven.
Backfill compounds
Marconite conductive backfill in powder or granules, and bentonite powder, in 25 kg bags, to lower earth resistance in dry or rocky ground.
Clamps, bonds and earth bars
- Rod clamps: rod to tape (type A), rod to conductor (type G), U-bolt rod clamps (type E), U-bolt rod to cable (type GUV, conductors 16 to 500 mm²) and rod to cable lug (type B), for rods from 9.5 to 25 mm
- Structure clamps: tower earth clamps for conductors 16 to 240 mm², rebar clamps for 8 to 38 mm rebar, pipe clamps
- Earth points and bonds for connecting reinforcement and structural steel
- Earth bars: copper and tinned copper, 6 to 30 ways (400 to 1,750 mm), with or without disconnecting links, plus telecom earth bars (50 × 6 and 100 × 6 mm), earth insulators and disconnecting links
Applications
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose copper, copper-bonded or stainless steel earth rods?
Solid copper rods have the highest conductivity and suit soils with high salt and moisture content. Copper-bonded rods combine a steel core with a copper surface and can be coupled to reach greater depths. Stainless steel rods are chosen where other buried metals could cause galvanic corrosion.
How can earth resistance be reduced in dry or rocky ground?
Use longer or additional rods, earth plates or mesh, and surround the electrode with a conductive backfill such as Marconite or bentonite.
Do you supply complete earthing kits for a project?
Yes. Rods, clamps, conductors, inspection pits, earth bars and exothermic welding materials can be supplied together for one project. Send us your earthing drawing or bill of quantities.
