Copper Bonded Steel Grounding Rod 5/8 X 8 FT

Conversions Tech 8-foot copper-bonded ground bar that fuses a ≈ 254 µm layer of 99.9 % IACS copper to a rugged low-carbon steel core. You get copper-level conductivity and steel-grade strength—keeping ground resistance below 2 Ω in most soils while shrugging off mechanical abuse.

Key Technical Advantages

• Permanent Copper Bond — electrolytic OFHC copper won’t peel or split under vibration or lightning strikes.
• Rapid Surge Dissipation — low-impedance path reduces touch- and step-voltage risks in microseconds.
• Threaded Extension Point — M14 × 2 rolled thread mates with Conversions Tech couplers; axial pullout > 15 kN even after seismic shifts.
• Decades-Long Corrosion Guard — ISO 9227 1 000 h salt-spray shows < 5 µm mass loss—ideal for salty, acidic, or high-moisture soils.
• Laser-Etched Traceability — each bar carries a batch code linked to material certs and eddy-current flaw scans.

Where to Use It

• Telecom & 5G Towers — diverts static build-up and lightning energy.
• HV Substations — equalizes grid potential; handles fault currents up to 40 kA.
• Industrial Plants — cleans EMI for VFDs, PLCs, and SCADA networks.
• Data Centers — reference ground for Tier IV UPS and standby generators.

Compliance & Certifications

• UL 467 Grounding & Bonding Equipment
• ANSI/IEEE Std 80 Step- & Touch-Voltage Criteria
