Safety is crucial in today's world, particularly with regard to grounding systems. Choosing the appropriate materials for this application becomes crucial. Austenitic stainless steel grounding rods are one choice that has caught the interest of specialists.
ZZ-001-165 grounding rods are made of a special type of stainless steel that is highly resistant to corrosion and mechanical stress. This alloy includes a high level of chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements that give it unique properties.
An important characteristic of austenitic stainless steel is its ability to independently form a protective oxide layer on the surface, preventing the destructive effects of corrosion. As a result, the rods are reliably protected from external causes while preserving strength and endurance under the most rigorous operating situations.
The rods ZZ-001-165 have a diameter of 16 mm and a length of 1.5 meters. A thread (5/8 UNC) is applied to both ends of the rods for their mutual connection using a coupling ZZ-002-161.
The following is a complete list of the accessories necessary for grounding electrode installation.
