What are the differences between copper-clad steel ground rods and copper-clad steel grounding poles?

The difference between the copper-clad steel grounding rod and the grounding pole is that many people think that there is not much difference. Even many professionals are not too serious, and often mix together when using. In fact, there is a big mistake, the use range of the grounding rod and the grounding pole is very different. 

Grounding rods are commonly used in lightning protection grounding construction of major ground buildings, while grounding poles are groups of conductive elements placed in the earth or seawater. It can provide a low-impedance path between a point of the DC circuit and the ground, and has the ability to continuously pass current for a certain period of time.

That is, a conductor buried in the earth to be connected to the earth or a combination of several conductors is called a grounding pole. The grounding pole is an electrode that is in full contact with the earth to connect with the earth. In the lightning protection project, the grounding pole is made of a plurality of 2m and 1.5m long copper-clad steel grounding rods, nailed to the bottom of the 800mm deep trench, and then copper. The steel strand or the bare copper wire is taken out.

The copper-clad steel ground rod is an individual, and the conductors connected by a plurality of copper-clad steel ground rods become copper-clad steel grounding poles. Simply put, the single copper clad steel grounding rod is small, the copper clad steel is very large, and the copper clad steel grounding pole is a general term for the copper clad steel grounding material.

Application: Copper clad steel grounding rod and grounding pole are similar. Copper clad steel grounding rod and copper clad steel grounding pole are applied to copper clad steel grounding material. It is suitable for general environment and moisture, saline, acid soil and chemical corrosive medium. Special environment, widely used in power plants, substations, transmission line towers, communication base stations, airports, railways, subway stations, various high-rise buildings, microwave relay stations, network equipment rooms, petrochemical plants, oil storage and other places lightning protection grounding, anti-static Grounding, protective grounding, working grounding, etc.
