ELECTRICAL EARTHING
An earthing rod is a long, conductive metal rod that is driven deep into the ground to provide a low-resistance path for electrical current to safely dissipate into the earth. It is an essential component of any electrical grounding system, helping to protect electrical equipment and human life from fault currents, lightning strikes, and voltage surges. Earthing rods are typically made from copper-bonded steel, galvanized iron (GI), or solid copper, ensuring high conductivity, strength, and corrosion resistance. These rods are installed vertically into the soil and connected to the electrical system through earthing wires or strips.
