The Essential Guide to Earth Rods and Earthing Systems
Earthing rods known as ground rods are essential parts of the earthing system. Currently referred to as ‘autrod’, these are long conductive metal stakes like copper or galvanized steel that are hammered into the ground to provide fault currents.
What are Earth Rods?
Ground rods otherwise called earth rods are conductive metal rods that are implanted on the Earth to channel electrical fault currents safely. These are canopied and specially made from copper or galvanized steel, and offer a low resistance path to earth ensuring protection of people, equipment as well as structures from electrical accidents.
Types of Earth Rods:
Galvanized Steel Rods: Inexpensive and widely applied to general purposes.
Copper Earth Rods: Very hard wiring, does not get rust, favored in lean industries.
Chemical Earthing Rods: Having incorporated into them various conducting elements, providing improved performance in different soils.

2. Protects Equipment: Protect precious electrical appliances from surge and prevent frequent calls to repair or replace damaged appliances.
3. Enhances System Stability: Offers low voltage of resistance so as to afford a good and safe path to the current thereby enhancing its effectiveness in providing power to the various related electrical systems and devices.
4. Improves Lightning Protection: Discharges electric current and prevents such a catastrophe as lightning to harm people or destroy properties.
5. Reduces Electrical Noise: Reduces electromagnetic interference thereby improving on performance in complex circuits and networking systems.
Earthing Electrodes and Earth Rods
Earthing electrodes should be used together with earth rods to provide a good path of return current to the ground. They have been designed to work cooperatively in optimizing the achievement of the mentioned goals of system effectiveness.
Choosing the Right Earthing Electrode:
Opt for the soils with maximum and minimum resistivity for material selection.
Accurate certified and durable earthing electrode manufacturers are consulted with major earthing electrode manufacturers.
Use in conjunction with chemical earthing rods where severe ground conditions exist.
How to Install an Earth Rod
A well-installed earth rod ensures minimal resistance and system longevity. Follow these steps for effective copper earth rod installation:
Site Selection: Select a site with relatively low soil resistivity.
Driving the Rod: The rest is accomplished by driving either a hammer or driver with the rod burrowed deep in the ground.
Connecting to the System: Secure the rod earthing in place to the grounding system using clamps, and conductors.
Regular maintenance and testing are essential, including understanding how to test earth rod resistance for optimal performance.
Testing and Maintaining an Earthing System
An effective earthing system requires regular monitoring to maintain safety and efficiency.
Resistance Testing: Use the Fall-of-Potential or Clamp-on Resistance Test.
Visual Inspections: Check for corrosion or loose connections.
Component Upgrades: Replace outdated rods with advanced options like chemical earthing rods.
Why Choose Chemical Earthing Rods?
Chemical earthing rods contain compounds that have a capability of increasing their conductivity as opposed to the soil quality and this makes chemical earthing rods useful where there is high soil resistivity.

An Integrated Approach For Complete Lightning Rod Protection
A lightning rod is a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike. If lightning hits the structure, it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution. Lightning rods are also called finials, air terminals, or strike termination devices. This technology goes back about 250 years to when Benjamin Franklin developed it.
It was designed primarily for structural protection.
Today, society has evolved to include sophisticated communications, computers, networks, power, power generation, GPS, space travel, air travel, and many more, but many companies are still using a lightning protection unit that goes back to the 1700s. Today’s standards are still rooted in the Ben Franklin system, including the National Fire Protection Agency NFPA 780 and Underwriters Laboratory (UL). Their primary mission is founded on structural protection and personal safety, but they are not geared toward electronic integrity and lightning elimination.
That is why LEC recommends an integrated approach for complete Lightning rod protection.
LEC's Charge Transfer System (patented as the Dissipation Array System or DAS) uses a naturally occurring, scientific phenomenon called point discharge to retard the collection of lightning within a finite protection zone. LEC does not attract the lightning. LEC's system lowers the static field in the protected area long enough for the lightning strike to terminate outside the protected area. The DAS is engineered for the specific application or site.
With LEC’s unique combination of experienced consultants, engineers, and integrated services, you can rely on expert advice backed by over 50 years of experience. LEC's services have provided lightning protection, grounding, and surge protection solutions throughout multiple industries, providing greater lightning safety, savings, and efficiency using a proprietary approach to risk reduction. The necessary services are dependent on your company’s lightning safety requirements. They can be as simple as a technical review or as extensive as a site survey. An LEC sales associate will be able to help you determine what your needs are.
The LEC Advantage is the heart and soul of our products and services. LEC technical development superiority, consulting services, and lightning prevention solutions are customized for each client.

Lightning Surge Protection Devices For Every Mission-Critical Industry
Lightning surge protection devices are an indispensable part of lightning protection for electronic equipment. Its function is to limit the instantaneous overvoltage of the power line and signal transmission line to the voltage range that the equipment or system can withstand, or to discharge powerful excess lightning current into the ground.
The most reoccurring cause of surge is lightning. During a lightning storm, it may strike somewhere near a power source and affect the voltage running through it. When a lightning surge hits an electrical system, it damages the devices connected to it, resulting in a loss of efficiency.
The term surge protection device (SPD) describes electrical devices typically installed in power distribution panels, process control systems, communications systems, and other heavy-duty industrial systems, for protection against electrical surges and spikes, including those caused by lightning.
LEC provides an entire product line of lightning surge protection devices, like:
Facility guard for industrial service entrance and subpanel applications
The DC surge protector for protection of all DC applications to ensure maximum lightning safety
Data line protectors for low voltage telecom and control lines
Coaxial line protectors for protection of all types of coaxial line applications including antennas, microwaves, broadband, cellular systems, and GPS equipment
SPDs are classified according to their standards into three different types:
Type1 – this can discharge partial lightning currents and commonly employs spark gap technology. They are generally installed in the service entrance switchboard to protect low-voltage equipment from direct lightning strike overvoltage.
Type2 – this version can help prevent the spread of over-voltages in electrical installations and help protect connected equipment. They are fitted to all distribution panels that serve electrical equipment. They offer protection against the residual effects of lightning strikes and switching overvoltages.
Type3 – This are only required to be installed as a supplement to type2 and has a low discharge capacity. It's best suited for a location close to the protected equipment to further protect against switching transients generated within a facility.
Lightning surge protection devices are applied extensively on various industries, especially for those critical-mission industries. If you are interested in any of the applications get connected with our Lightning Eliminator team.
