ERICO Copper-Bonded Ground Rod Solution
nVent ERICO Cu-Bond Copper-Bonded Ground Rod
Solution Overview
This product is provided by nVent ERICO, featuring innovative Cu-Bond technology. The conductor's steel core uses low-carbon grade steel for enhanced flexibility, while the surface is covered with a copper layer for conductivity. The product uses a nickel-then-copper plating process to ensure lasting molecular bonding between the copper layer and steel core.
As part of the ERITECH® electrical facility protection product line, this product is designed for various applications requiring high-performance grounding solutions. The copper surface provides high conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the steel core offers excellent theft protection.
