Sometimes, the harm caused by a single lightning hit or stray current becomes unaffordable. It not only damages your valuable equipment, but also human life. LEC’s grounding rod has considered as the best option in this regard. These CHEM rods are sure to reduce the risks of any valuable or human life more effectively than any other kind of grounding rods. With the most efficient earth interface, you can easily feel safe and secure during lightning.
Earthing is the process of creating an alternative path for the flow of fault/excessive current safety into the ground in the presence of minimal resistance or impedance. Our earthing system offers superior product life, it is cost effective and maintenance free.
Designed With Easy Inspection And Refill In Mind
An efficient grounding system is critical to personnel safety and uninterrupted operations. But conventional ground rods are typically insufficient for industrial uses where target resistance can be less than 1 ohm.
The CHEM-Rod solves problems found with conventional ground rods by requiring less real estate and fewer electrodes to meet specified resistance.
Designed With Lightning In Mind
High-frequency transient events like lightning force current flow to the surface of an object. In these events, electrodes with more surface area have less impedance.
A copper CHEM-Rod has about four times more surface area than a traditional grounding rod. This larger surface area helps create the low-impedance connection required to safely channel high-frequency lightning currents to earth.
As grounding standards have evolved to require lower resistance levels, better electrodes are needed. While old methods may have been adequate for grounding to 25 ohms, using the same methods to reach 1 ohm or even 5 ohms can be impractical if not simply impossible. An optimized grounding electrode like the CHEM-Rod can reach lower resistance levels with fewer electrodes than traditional methods, making it a more effective solution
