Aluminum thermite is a mixture of aluminium powder and high melting point metal oxides (such as iron oxide powder) in proportion. When used, it is ignited by adding oxidant, and the reaction proceeds intensely. Aluminum oxide and its monomer are obtained and a large amount of heat is released. The temperature can reach about 2500 C, which can melt the generated monomer. This reaction is called thermite reaction. The thermite reaction principle can be applied in production, such as welding rails. Some metal oxides (such as V2O5, Cr2O3, MnO2, etc.) can be used as thermite instead of iron oxide. When aluminium powder reacts with these metal oxides, enough heat is generated to melt the reduced metal at a higher temperature and separate it from the formed slag to obtain a more pure metal. This method is often used in industry to smelt refractory metals, such as vanadium, chromium, manganese, etc. The use of aluminium when oxidized is exothermic.

As an important component of thermite, metal oxides do not generally refer to all metal oxides, but have a certain range, that is, those refractory metal oxides. These refractory metal oxides emit a lot of heat when they react with aluminium in the mixture, which is also an important condition for the formation of thermite reaction.

We are one of the best earth wire manufacturers,we produce thermite rod,welcome to order it.

Classification of Equipment Grounding

Earthing refers to the connection between neutral points of power system and electrical devices, exposed conductive part of electrical equipment and outer conductive part of equipment. Equipment grounding can be divided into working grounding, lightning protection grounding and protective grounding.

Protective grounding is designed to prevent equipment from being charged due to insulation damage which endangers personal safety, such as metal enclosures, reinforced concrete poles and metal poles and towers of power equipment. Protective grounding can only have current when the insulation of the equipment is damaged, and its value can be changed in a large range.

Function of Equipment Grounding

1. Preventing Persons from Being Shocked by Electric Shocks

In order to protect the safety of human body, a good metal connection is made between the non-electrified metal part of electrical equipment and the grounding electrode under normal conditions. For electrical equipment with grounding devices, when insulation is damaged and the housing is charged, the grounding current will flow along both the grounding electrode and the human body.

The current flowing through each path will be inversely proportional to its resistance. The smaller the resistance of the grounding pole, the smaller the current flowing through the human body. When the grounding resistance is very small, the current flowing through the human body tends to be zero. The human body therefore avoids the danger of electric shock. Therefore, in any case, the grounding resistance should be guaranteed not to exceed the grounding resistance specified in the design or regulation.

2.Guarantee the Normal Operation of Electrical System

The grounding of power system is generally neutral point grounding, so the potential between neutral point and ground is close to zero. When the phase line touches the shell or grounding, the other two relative ground voltages will rise to twice the phase voltage in the neutral point insulation system. In neutral grounded systems, it is close to the phase voltage. Because of the neutral grounding wire, the reliability of relay protection can be guaranteed.

DC power supply in communication system usually adopts positive grounding, which can prevent noise from entering and ensure the normal operation of communication equipment.

We are one of the professional earth rod suppliers,we provide copper earthing wire,equipment grounding techniques and equipment grounding,you can know what is equipment grounding in our website.

In fact, the ground resistance is the criterion to determine whether the grounding rod is in a level state after it is connected to the ground, and the ground resistance contacted varies with the depth of the grounding rod. Generally speaking, the length of the grounding rod should not be less than 240 centimeters, that is, 240 centimeters. Moreover, most importantly, unless there is a proper protective device at the top of the grounding rod, the upper end of the grounding rod should be horizontal or lower than the ground. If you want to reduce the ground resistance when grounding, you need to use a longer grounding rod or use more than two grounding rods. If the latter is chosen, the distance between the grounding rod and the grounding rod should not be less than 180 cm.

But traditionally, the grounding rods of electric power and other electrical appliances are 2-2.5m. Basically, it is one dozen. It is suggested that the 2.5 inch pipe be used to sharpen the head into the soil with more moisture. According to probability statistics, the Pearl River Delta can basically satisfy the value of 4-5 Euros.

In summary, the grounding rod should be buried underground in general, so the depth of the grounding rod buried underground depends on the overall length of the grounding rod.

We are one of the best earth rod manufacturers,we will teach you how deep should a grounding rod be,please don’t be worry about it.

Copper clad steel is the most suitable new grounding material. Compared with traditional grounding materials, it has advantages in the following aspects: corrosion resistance; conductivity; construction difficulty; welding reliability. This paper mainly introduces corrosion resistance and conductivity.

Corrosion resistance of Copper clad steel

The corrosion resistance of grounding body directly determines the service life of substation grounding network. There are two main forms of corrosion of grounding body: surface corrosion and pitting corrosion. Surface corrosion refers to uniform corrosion, which is related to the material and soil corrosion performance of grounding body, and its speed is relatively stable. Point corrosion mainly exists in joints and other parts which are prone to electrochemical corrosion. The rate of point corrosion is 4 to 60 times that of uniform corrosion, which is the main form of corrosion threatening the safety of grounding grid.

The anti-corrosion ability of steel itself is very poor. The steel grounding body is mainly protected by external galvanizing. If there is insufficient protection for the damaged plating such as welding points in the construction process, it is very easy to form point corrosion. Steel grounding grids in substations usually need to be transformed and replaced in ten years, and seldom work steadily for fifteen years. It is useless to increase the cross section of grounding pole by a large margin, because the pitting corrosion speed is too fast, and it is easy to erode and break the horizontal grounding network.

The corrosion rate of copper grounding body in soil is about 1/10-1/50 of steel. The corrosion product of copper material is basic copper carbonate, which will be adsorbed tightly on the surface of copper material to prevent further corrosion and to protect copper material from pitting corrosion. When the coating is reasonable, the corrosion resistance of copper clad steel is equivalent to that of copper. Copper or copper-plated steel grounding grids can operate stably for up to 50 years.

Conductivity of Copper clad steel

The conductivity of grounding material directly affects the power frequency resistance and impact resistance of substation grounding network. According to the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS), the conductivity of standard copper is 100%, that of standard steel is only 10.8%, and that of copper is about 10 times that of steel. According to the thickness of the coating, the conductivity of the copper clad steel earth rod is about 20%-40%, which is much better than that of the steel grounding rod. In the case of high frequency lightning current impact, the skin effect of conductor is more obvious, and the high frequency conductivity of copper clad steel grounding material is more advantageous than that of steel grounding material.

We provide copper earth cable and galvanized earth rod,RFQ today.

The tower crane is a metal component. It is only necessary to connect the tower crane on the ground at the exit point of the construction foundation, and then dismantle it after completion of the construction. Tower grounding techniques include tower crane foundation grounding, tower crane repeated grounding and lightning protection grounding. The following is a detailed introduction:

Tower grounding techniques 1: Tower Crane Foundation Grounding Method

1. Dig a circular trench (60-80 cm deep and 60 cm wide) around the tower crane foundation at a distance of about 1 meter.
2. (Horizontal grounding body) A circle of galvanized flat steel is enclosed in the trench.
3. (Vertical grounding body) Put a grounding rod into the trench every 2.5-3 meters, and weld the top with flat steel.
4. No less than 2 points of flat steel are welded to the foundation.

Tower grounding techniques 2: Tower Crane Repeated Grounding and Lightning Protection Grounding Method

1.Flash receiving: The tower crane is generally located on the outside of the building, and higher than the building under construction. Because its main body is mostly steel structure, it can use itself as a flash receiving device.
2. Lightning-proof lead-down line: The main body is also steel structure, and can use itself as lead-down line (of course, it is best to set up two lead-down lines which is not less than 50 square).
3. Grounding: Connect the base or track with the grounding grid of the building foundation reliably and form an equipotential body. It is better to install three centralized divergent vertical grounding bodies near the tower crane foundation, and the grounding resistance is not more than 10 ohms.
4. Some tower cranes will be fixed with staircase hoops. At this time, the hoops should be reliably welded with the pressure equalizing ring of the floor.

Overvoltage (surge) protectors should be installed at the power supply end of the power supply and distribution system in accordance with the voltage withstanding level of the equipment.

There are four common electrical grounding methods:

1.Working Grounding

Working grounding, also known as system grounding, is grounding a certain point of the network according to the needs of the normal operation of the power system. For example, the neutral point of three-phase system is grounded to stabilize the potential of the grid to the ground, thus reducing the insulation to the ground. It can also make the flashover or breakdown of ground insulation easy to detect, and is conducive to the implementation of relay protection measures.

2. Protective grounding

Protective grounding is also called safe grounding. The metal case of electrical devices, the structure of distribution devices and the tower of transmission lines may be charged due to insulation damage. The grounding is set up to prevent it from endangering the safety of people and equipment.

3. Lightning Protection and Grounding

This is to make the strong lightning current safely into the ground, to reduce the potential rise caused by the outdated lightning current, such as lightning rod, lightning wire and arrester grounding.

4.Antistatic Grounding

Grounding is designed to prevent the dangerous effects of static electricity on flammable and explosive substances such as flammable oil, natural gas storage tanks and pipelines.

Generally speaking, the function of grounding can be divided into two parts: The one protecting personnel and equipment from damage is called protective grounding; The one ensuring the normal operation of equipment is called working grounding. The classification here refers to various requirements considered in the design and construction of grounding engineering, and does not mean that each "ground" needs to be separated. On the contrary, in addition to the special reasons such as anti-interference of geoelectric signals and special requirements of equipment itself, we advocate the joint grounding scheme as far as possible.

Beisuda located in Ningbo, Zhejiang, it is a professional enterprice, who focus on R&D, production, sales copper clad steel series grounding and copper clad rod products.

Copper clad steel ground rod wire function: High-voltage ground wire is used for line and transformer construction. It prevents electrostatic induction shock or misclosure of nearby charged body to ensure safety. Due to poor insulation performance or humid environment, there will be a certain static electricity in their cases of household electrical appliances. In order to avoid accidents, a wire can be connected to the metal shell of the electrical appliances, and the other end of the wire can be connected to the earth. Once the electrical appliances leak, the ground wire will bring static electricity into the earth and release it.

Ground wire is the line directly connecting the earth, also known as the safety loop line. When dangerous, it directly transfers the high voltage to the earth, which is a lifeline.

High-voltage ground wire structure: Portable high-voltage grounding wire consists of insulating lever, conductor clamp, short-circuit line, grounding wire, grounding terminal, confluence clamp and grounding clamp.

High-voltage ground wire manufacturing process: excellent production process - wire clamp, grounding clamp is formed by high-quality aluminum alloy die casting; operating rod is made of epoxy resin color tube, which has good insulation performance, high strength, light weight, bright color and smooth appearance.

Ground soft copper wire is made of multiple strands of high-quality soft copper wire and covered with soft, high-temperature transparent insulation layer, which can prevent wear and tear of grounding copper wire in use. It can meet the fatigue test requirements of copper wire and ensure the safety of operators in operation.

BEST Grounding Module

Performance and characteristics of BEST grounding module:

The low-resistance grounding module is a non-metallic material-based grounding body composed of non-metallic minerals with good conductivity and chemical stability, metal ground rods, electrolytes and humectants.

Ground Module performance and characteristics

1. The contact resistance is greatly reduced.

The main material of the grounding module is similar to the physical structure of the soil, and can be integrated with the soil, so that the effective contact area between the grounding body and the soil is increased by many times compared with that between the traditional metal grounding body and soil, which has increased the flow area of the grounding body itself and greatly reduced contact resistance of the grounding body to the soil.

2. The grounding resistance is stable

The grounding module has strong moisture absorption and moisturizing ability, ensuring that the grounding module can effectively play the conductive function. At the same time, the conductive characteristics of the grounding body are not affected by the weather changes such as dry humidity, high and low humidity. Therefore, it can provide a stable low grounding resistance.

3. Reduce ground potential counterattack

The non-metallic material in the grounding module forms a low-resistance region with a gentle change between the metal and the soil with a large difference in electrical resistivity. When encountering a large current surge, the potential gradient of the grounding body and the grounding wire can be lowered to lower the step voltage and the contact voltage so as to reduce the probability of counterattack of the ground potential.

4. Long service life

The main material of the grounding module is similar to the physical structure of the soil, and can be integrated with the soil, so that the effective contact area between the grounding body and the soil is increased by many times compared with that between the traditional metal grounding body and soil, which has increased the flow area of the grounding body itself and greatly reduced contact resistance of the grounding body to the soil.

5. Simple construction and installation

Compared with the traditional metal grounding device, the construction work is greatly reduced.

Ground module use range:

1. Working grounding, safe grounding and lightning protection for power plants, substations, switching stations, high-voltage transmission lines, electrified railways, telecommunications, mobile communication base stations, microwave relay stations, ground satellite receiving stations and radar stations;
2. Working grounding and protective grounding for valuable precision instruments, computer room equipment, postal and telecommunications program control equipment, radio and television equipment, and electronic medical equipment;
3. Lightning protection of various high-rise buildings, tall structures, scenic ancient buildings and tall memorial towers;
4. Lightning protection of oil pipelines, oil and gas tanks, and inflammable and explosive material warehouses.

Ground Module usage method:

1. The low-resistance grounding module can be vertically embedded or horizontally embedded, and the  embedded depth should not be less than 0.6 m, generally 0.8- 1.0 m.
2. When several modules are embedded in parallel, the module spacing should not be less than 4.0 meters. If the conditions are not allowed, it can be appropriately reduced. At the same time, the value of the module utilization coefficient should be reduced when the amount of module is calculated.
3. When the module pole cores are connected in parallel or connected to the ground wire, they must be welded, with the welding length no less than 100mm.
4. The welding slag should be removed at the weld, coated with anti-corrosive conductive paint or wrapped with HD-JZ high-efficiency swelling resistance-reducing agent.
5. During backfilling, it should be sprinkled with water in an appropriate amount, tamped in layers and watered again after backfilling. Meanwhile, the grounding resistance should be measured after the module is fully hygroscopically absorbed (72 hours).

Ground Module Specifications: 

Precautions；

1. The storage module should maintain a certain humidity to avoid high temperature, dryness and explosion;
2. External force should be avoided to damage modules during transportation and installation;
3. In cold areas, the module should be embedded below the frozen layer.

Usage calculation

According to the soil resistivity of the grounding network soil layer, the amount of HD-GO grounding module is calculated by the following formula; horizontal embedding, single module grounding resistance: total grounding resistance after parallel connection.

Exothermic Welding

Exothermic welding, also called hot melt welding, fire-clay welding, thermite welding and explosion welding, is a kind of exothermic welding products that utilizes the redox reaction between metals, the operation of which is simple, easy to learn, safe and efficient, and it has significant results in the production of high quality permanent welded joints between homogeneous metals and metals of different materials and is now well known to the public, becoming more popular in more and more architectural designs, and widely required to replace the connection method using conventional metal fixtures.

Exothermic welding requires high-quality graphite to form a cavity mold with a certain shape, such as line style (butt), T-joint (three-way), cross-type joint (four-way) and so on. The mold can be used multiple times, effectively saving costs.

Exothermic Welding Advantanges:

1. Good electrical conductivity: the current-carrying capacity of the welded joint surface is almost the same as that of the metal conductor, and the electrical conductivity is strong.

Experiments have shown that the the change rate of DC resistance before and after welding is close to zero, which is incomparable with any traditional connection mode.

2. Long and durable life: due to the high temperature fusion between the metal conductors during exothermic welding, an integrated permanent joint is formed, which is very strong and difficult to break and damage.
3. Strong corrosion resistance: the material of the welded point is mainly copper, and the corrosion resistance is almost the same as that of copper.
4. The operation is convenient and simple with no need for professionals but can be performed only after pepole are simply trained by professionals.
5. The requirement for operating environment is low, and no external power source or heat source is required for welding.

Operation flow of hot-melt welding

1. First, the mold and the welded conductor joint should be cleaned, and then the welded conductor should be fixed at the center of the mold cavity.
2. Close the mold and steadily place a metal protective gasket on the bottom of the mold furnace.
3. Pour in the exothermic welding flux, and evenly spread the starting powder on the surface of the flux and place it in an environmentally friendly starting powder.
4. Cover the mold, expose a part of the pyrophoric wrap at the mold opening, and then ignite the starting powder with an igniter.
5. After the hot-melt flux is ignited, a high temperature reaction occurs in the mold.
6. After the reaction is completed and cooled, the mold is opened and the welded conductor has been permanently connected.

Chemical Ground Electrode System

Performance characteristics and working principle of Chemical Ground Electrode:

1. Chemical ground electrode
2. Existing soil
3. Special filler
4. Ions diffuse around
5. Expand the conductive range of the soil

Chemical ground rod (chemical grounding rod) is a new type of grounding system suitable for all kinds of places with high grounding requirements and difficult grounding engineering.

The chemial grounding electrode system consists of advanced alloy compounds, with a copper tube on the outside to ensure maximum conductivity and long service life. The filling material inside the conductor contains special ionic compounds, which can absorb moisture in the air adequately. Active ions can be effectively released into the soil through the deliquescence, and interact with the moisture in the soil and air to further promote the external slow release and drag reduction of conductors, and to maintain the long-term stability of the resistance value. Compounds in conductors are gradually combined in colloidal transparency over time.

By utilizing the conductivity of the colloidal compound, the entire system can be ion-exchanged for a long time, thus forming an ideal electrolytic ion grounding system. After the slow-release filler in the conductor is embedded, the grounding resistance will gradually decrease, reaching a stable value within six months to one year, and the embedded slow-release process can last for several years. The main connecting parts of the ion grounding electrode are hot-melt welded, which has overcome other connection methods and easy connection loosening.

The connecting wire is a copper clad steel copperweld stranded wire with a section of 95 mm2 and a length of 3 m and is crimped to the grounding terminal/copper lug to facilitate connection with the grounding grid.

Brief Instruction of Copper Clad Steel Stranded Wire

The copper-clad strand wire is shaped like a cable, which is made of a plurality of copper-clad single wires. Because of its multi-stranded properties, the electrical conductivity and tensile strength are relatively good, and the cable copperweld can be customized to enhance the elongation rate by multiple heat treatment in the production process, which has increased the strength and toughness of the steel compared with the pure copper strand. Moreover, the good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of the copper material are maintained due to the principle of the skin effect. Therefore, conductor copperweld is very popular in many fields of lightning protection and grounding, especially in power plants, substations, high-speed rail, subways, electrified railways, large-scale chemical plants, mechanical plants, communication base stations, transportation, computer rooms, highways and military bases.

Copper Clad Steel Stranded Wire Characteristics

1.High conductivity (up to 70% and above)

The copper-clad strand wire produced by our company generally has a conductivity of 30%-70%, and more than 70% can be customized according to customer requirements.

2.High tensile strength

The multi-stranded copper-clad strand wire has high tensile strength and can be made into copper-clad steel strand wire with high electrical conductivity and high tensile strength after being enhanced by special treatment process to be suitable for special use occasions.

3.Long life

The copper plating of single-stranded copper-clad round steel (copperweld steel) of multi-stranded copper-clad strand is thick, the excellent production process makes copper layer tightly combined and bent 180-360 degrees without cracking and its life is long and can be more than 30 years.

4.Low cost

The characteristics of high conductivity and corrosion resistance have greatly reduced the number of grounding conductors used in grounding projects, which can significantly save costs and achieve outstanding economic benefits.

5.Convenient construction and transportation

The single length of the copper-clad copperweld strand can be up to 100 meters, because the 100-meter package or the hundred-meter cable can be transported more easily. The welding between the grounding grids during the construction is recommended to use the exothermic welding series products produced by our company. There are different shapes of molds for exothermic welding, so that different permanent joints can be randomly welded. The construction operation is simple and easy to learn, and the various conductors of the grounding grid are welded together to become a true maintenance-free device.

0.8 Series CCS Wire

Origin of new material development

0.8mm series copper-clad coated ground wire is a new type of material developed by our Company to replace pure copper. Because it has the advantages of high strength, low price, high corrosion resistance and high conductivity of copper, and meanwhile its comprehensive performance is high and its cost is more economical than pure copper grounding device, it has been widely used in UHV lines, petrochemical industry, nuclear power and high-speed railway, especially in key projects in recent years.

Copper-clad steel:

The material in which the surface of a steel core is uniformly coated with copper includes copper-clad steel bars (for vertical grounding electrode only), copper-clad steel tape, and copper clad stainless steel wire (including round wires and stranded wires). According to the production process, it can be divided into continuous casting copper-clad steel and electroplating copper-clad steel.

Development of copper-clad steel grounding device

With the increasing voltage level of power lines and the increasing capacity of the system, higher requirements are put forward for the safety and reliability of grounding devices.

The traditional method in foreign countries is to use pure copper as the grounding material, but pure copper is expensive and it is a strategic resource, which is not suitable for being massively used as grounding devices in China. From 1910 to 1955, National Bureau of Standards (NBS) conducted corrosion resistance studies of grounding bodies. 36,500 samples collected at 128 test sites throughout the United States represented 333 metal materials consisting of iron, non-ferrous metals and protective coatings, respectively. The test results show that only steel bars and stainless steel bars with copper plating thickness over 0.5mm can be accepted.

In addition, continue the statistical data of 8 to 30 years and take the test results of 43 copper samples in different soils, 41 of which were calculated, to get the 0.17mm average pitting depth of 30 years. Therefore, some international standards have determined the thickness of copper coating of copper-clad steel material to be at least 0.25 mm. Considering the hard friction during construction, it is suggested that the thickness of copper coating be defined as 0.5-0.8 mm.

In China, copper clad(copperweld) steel materials are widely used in substation grounding grids in areas with high soil resistivity. Because of the characteristics of UHV project, such as high voltage level, large capacity and short power cut window period, combined with the corrosion intensity of groundwater in the area, copper-clad steel grounding devices have been applied in UHV lines and many UHV lines in China use copper-clad steel materials as grounding bodies.

Comparison between copper-clad steel grounding and traditional hot-dip galvanized steel grounding device

1. Corrosion rate comparision
   Annual corrosion rate of grounding materials in some place of Beijing and Tianjin

The test results show that galvanized steel has the most serious corrosion and its corrosion rate is more than 50 times higher than that of pure copper; the corrosion degree of stainless steel is much lower than that of pure copper and copper-clad steel, showing good corrosion resistance; as a copper-steel composite material, the self-corrosion potential of copper-clad steel in soil is basically the same as that of pure copper, and its corrosion rate is the same as that of pure copper; the corrosion rate of the electroplated copper-clad steel with thinner coating is higher than that of the continuous casting copper-clad steel with thicker coating.

2. Analysis and comparison of physical performance in short circuit

If the conductivity of copper were 100% and the conductivity of standard 1020 steel were only 10.8%, the conductivity of copper would be about 10 times that of steel. However, the conductivity of the 30% conductivity copper-clad copper plated steel wire would be 30%, and the conductivity of the 40% conductivity copper-clad round wire would be 40%, which would be far better than the steel grounding body. Especially under skin effect, the conductivity of copper-plated strands at high frequencies would be much better than that of steel, that is, the conductivity of copper grounding body would be better than that of steel grounding body. The melting point of copper is 1083℃ and the maximum allowable temperature during short circuit is 450℃ ; the melting point of steel is 1510℃ and the maximum allowable temperature during short circuit is 400℃. Therefore, when the grounding body has the same cross section, the copper-clad steel grounding material has better thermal stability.

3. Economic comparison

According to Appendix D of Technical Conditions for Copper-clad Steel for Grounding in Electrical Engineering, the corrosion rates of copper clad steel in different soils are calculated according to the reference values in table. Corrosion rate of pure copper under different soil corrosion grades (mm/a)

The 0.8mm copper plating thickness is enough to meet the requirement of 60 years of service under the grade of III extremely strong corrosion.

The corrosion rate of galvanized steel is nearly 50 times that of copper-clad steel under the same soil conditions, and the grounding body should be overhauled after being used for 3-5 years.

The State Grid has accounted the UHV tower according to the drawings: after the investigation of the market price of material during the construction, the market price of the copper-clad-steel grounding body is calculated at RMB 20 /m, the market price of φ12 galvanized-steel round steel grounding body is calculated at RMB 6 /m and the grounding body laying is calculated according to the grounding construction drawing. During the 30-year whole life cycle, galvanized steel is overhauled every 5 years, of which the cost of material is RMB 20 /m for copper-clad steel and RMB 36/m for galvanized steel, that is, only material cost can be reduced by 80%. Galvanized steel can be overhauled and replaced six times. If the construction cost is RMB 70 /m3 for earthwork and stone works and each base tower is calculated by 23 m3 for excavation, RMB 9660 per base tower will be saved.

Copper-clad steel construction

The horizontal laying of the copper-clad steel grounding device is the same as that of the ordinary galvanized round steel, where only the connection method is changed to hot-melt welding, which has reduced the contact resistance between the joints and is more conducive to the release of lightning current.

Exothermic welding, also known as "aluminum heat welding", is a simple, high-efficiency, high-quality metal joining process that has been mass-produced and used in China in recent years. Exothermic welding uses chemical reaction heat of metal compounds as heat source and through superheated (reduced) molten metal or indirect heating, a certain shape and size of the melted joint is formed in the cavity of the special graphite mould, which meets the engineering requirements, and finally through cooling and condensation, the welding process is realized. At present, exothermic welding has generally replaced the mechanical connection between metals in the past.

Advantages of copper-clad steel

1.It has strong corrosion resistance and will not be disjointed, warped or cracked. The corrosion in the grounding body of the grounding grid is reduced, which has improved the overall operational safety of the equipment;

2. It has good electrical conductivity and stable electrical performance;
3. The copper layer and the steel bar achieve molecular bonding, and the grounding bar will not break down when it penetrates into the soil.
4. The copper-clad-steel grounding material used has high efficiency of reducing the resistance, and the length of the horizontal grounding body is reduced by 1/3 for the design of the high-resistance section, greatly reducing the excavation amount of the earthwork;
5. The design and use of exothermic welding technology is very suitable for the needs of field construction, greatly improving work efficiency and effectively shortening the construction period.

Performance parameters of copper-clad steel wire

Copper layer thickness:0.8mm; tensile strength: greater than 500MPa; copper-clad steel bent 180° without peeling off copper layer.

Specification of 0.8mm series copper-clad round steel: Soft copper-clad round bars are generally packaged in hanks or rolls, 100 meters per roll, easy to transport, suitable for laying of large grounding grids and horizontal grounding lines.

Usage:key projects, large grounding grids and horizontal grounding wires in industries with higher lightning protection requirements, etc.

BEST Grounding Module

Performance and characteristics of BEST grounding module:

The low-resistance grounding module is a non-metallic material-based grounding body composed of non-metallic minerals with good conductivity and chemical stability, metal ground rods, electrolytes and humectants.

Ground Module performance and characteristics

1. The contact resistance is greatly reduced.

The main material of the grounding module is similar to the physical structure of the soil, and can be integrated with the soil, so that the effective contact area between the grounding body and the soil is increased by many times compared with that between the traditional metal grounding body and soil, which has increased the flow area of the grounding body itself and greatly reduced contact resistance of the grounding body to the soil.

2. The grounding resistance is stable

The grounding module has strong moisture absorption and moisturizing ability, ensuring that the grounding module can effectively play the conductive function. At the same time, the conductive characteristics of the grounding body are not affected by the weather changes such as dry humidity, high and low humidity. Therefore, it can provide a stable low grounding resistance.

3. Reduce ground potential counterattack

The non-metallic material in the grounding module forms a low-resistance region with a gentle change between the metal and the soil with a large difference in electrical resistivity. When encountering a large current surge, the potential gradient of the grounding body and the grounding wire can be lowered to lower the step voltage and the contact voltage so as to reduce the probability of counterattack of the ground potential.

4. Long service life

The main material of the grounding module is similar to the physical structure of the soil, and can be integrated with the soil, so that the effective contact area between the grounding body and the soil is increased by many times compared with that between the traditional metal grounding body and soil, which has increased the flow area of the grounding body itself and greatly reduced contact resistance of the grounding body to the soil.

5. Simple construction and installation

Compared with the traditional metal grounding device, the construction work is greatly reduced.

Ground module use range:

1. Working grounding, safe grounding and lightning protection for power plants, substations, switching stations, high-voltage transmission lines, electrified railways, telecommunications, mobile communication base stations, microwave relay stations, ground satellite receiving stations and radar stations;
2. Working grounding and protective grounding for valuable precision instruments, computer room equipment, postal and telecommunications program control equipment, radio and television equipment, and electronic medical equipment;
3. Lightning protection of various high-rise buildings, tall structures, scenic ancient buildings and tall memorial towers;
4. Lightning protection of oil pipelines, oil and gas tanks, and inflammable and explosive material warehouses.

Ground Module usage method:

1. The low-resistance grounding module can be vertically embedded or horizontally embedded, and the  embedded depth should not be less than 0.6 m, generally 0.8- 1.0 m.
2. When several modules are embedded in parallel, the module spacing should not be less than 4.0 meters. If the conditions are not allowed, it can be appropriately reduced. At the same time, the value of the module utilization coefficient should be reduced when the amount of module is calculated.
3. When the module pole cores are connected in parallel or connected to the ground wire, they must be welded, with the welding length no less than 100mm.
4. The welding slag should be removed at the weld, coated with anti-corrosive conductive paint or wrapped with HD-JZ high-efficiency swelling resistance-reducing agent.
5. During backfilling, it should be sprinkled with water in an appropriate amount, tamped in layers and watered again after backfilling. Meanwhile, the grounding resistance should be measured after the module is fully hygroscopically absorbed (72 hours).

Ground Module Specifications: 

Precautions；

1. The storage module should maintain a certain humidity to avoid high temperature, dryness and explosion;
2. External force should be avoided to damage modules during transportation and installation;
3. In cold areas, the module should be embedded below the frozen layer.

Usage calculation

According to the soil resistivity of the grounding network soil layer, the amount of HD-GO grounding module is calculated by the following formula; horizontal embedding, single module grounding resistance: total grounding resistance after parallel connection.

In the formula

ρ- soil resistivity (Ω.m)

a and b- length and width of the grounding module (m)

Rj- single module grounding resistance (Ω)

Rnj- total grounding resistance (Ω)

n- number of grounding modules

η- module adjustment factor, generally 0.6 -0.9
