Improper grounding accounts for a large percentage of damage and malfunction of sensitive electronic equipment. Multi-grounding renders equipment susceptible to lightning induced transient over-voltages as well as steady-state noise caused by ground loop currents. These problems can be avoided by
In this article we discuss the grounding rod: Purpose of a grounding rod: Grounding rods conduct current from a lightning strike to the soil.
Copper grounding rods by LEC are a valuable addition to the tools we use to lower ground system DC resistance and AC impedance, which affords a much better environment for a direct lightning strike to be shunted to ground. These grounding rods are 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 earth with a large conductive surface. The earth/electrode interface is further enhanced by conductive backfill and electrolytic salts, ensuring a consistent conductive path to ground.
With an effective lightning protection and grounding system in place, the excess electricity will be diverted to the earth, thereby protecting your sensitive electronics. Our products include air terminal, down connectors, grounding rods, and surge protection products. Grounding electrical work is a necessary and smart move. Get started today!
