Copperbond rod
Furse copperbond earth rods probably offer to the installer the best and most economical earth
rods available.They are made by molecularly bonding 99.9% pure electrolytic copper onto a low
carbon steel core. Furse rods are not of the sheathed type. They are highly resistant to
corrosion, and because the steel used has a very high tensile strength, they can be driven by power
hammers to great depths.
The counter-bored couplings are made from high copper content alloy, commercial brass is
not used. This again ensures excellent corrosion resistance and high strength.
Diameter of rod
One common misconception is that the diameter of the rod has a drastic effect on lowering earth
resistance.This is not true! As the graph shows, you only lower the resistance value by 9.5 per cent
by doubling the diameter of the rod (which means increasing the weight and the cost of the rod
by approximately 400 per cent!)
Thus the rationale is: Use the most economical rod that soil conditions will allow you to drive.
This is one of the ways to ensure that you dont waste money on over-dimensioned rods.

Earth rods
Furse solid copper earth rods offer greater resistance to corrosion.They are ideally used in
applications where soil conditions are very aggressive, such as soils with high salt content.
Connections to the rods can be by mechanical clamps, compression or by Furses own
Furseweld exothermic welding system.
