Electroniquel | Grounding rods
PROTECTION
grounding rods
The basic function of an Earthing system is to limit the voltage to earth, which makes it possible to ensure the performance of the protections and eliminate or reduce the risk of a breakdown in the electrical materials used.
Electroníquel is a pioneer in Europe in the design and manufacture of protective and grounding elements. Our different production lines allow us to manufacture rods, electrodes, accessories, plates, meshes, terminals, connectors and derivations, elements that allow us to have comprehensive control in the event of overvoltages or natural electrical discharges.
great mechanical rigidity
maximum corrosion resistance
ELECTRONIQUEL stakes are easy to install cylindrical electrodes with a steel core and a thick layer of pure electrolytic copper molecularly bonded together. Due to this molecular bond, steel and copper are physically inseparable and therefore, when faced with corrosion attacks, they behave as electrodes of the highest quality and durability. Valid for any type of grounding: lightning rod, home, antennas, machinery, instrumentation ...
Ground Rods
Electroniquel is one of the main European manufacturers of Earthing since the 70s. Currently our pikes are buried in thirty countries in all types of facilities, electrical generation and distribution, residential, rail ...

exothermic welding
Aluminothermic welding is a procedure in which, thanks to the reaction caused by the reduction of copper oxide by aluminum, a durable union of two metal elements (copper-copper or copper-steel) is obtained. The connection is resistant to overload and corrosion.

Manufacture with calibrated steels
Low carbon content
Other needs may arise in the earth network such as additives to improve the resistivity of the ground, earthing plates, copper-plated steel conductor cable as a valid and more cost-effective solution regarding the installation of bare copper, aluminothermic welding.

Carbon fine steel
Materials selection
The steel used in the core of the pick must be a fine carbon steel with an adequate tensile strength, normally between 600-770 N / mm2. The content of impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus are limited to 0.04%. The copper used must be of the type defined in the UNE 20003 Standard, with a conductivity at 20ºC equal to 58 m / Ωmm2.
-
Copper deposition
Covering
The deposition of copper by electrolytic methods ensures the perfect adhesion of the copper to the steel core, as well as an adequate environmental resistance, for this the steel bars are immersed in a battery of vats to carry out the pretreatment of the steel and its subsequent copper plating.
-
According to the standard
Marked
The picks are marked on the chamfered end according to the reference standard used.
-
The reference standards
Inspection
The inspection carried out throughout the process, both in the reception of materials, as in the manufacture and on the final product, ensure the conformity of the picks to the reference standards. Routine tests are carried out on all manufactured batches, with the ISO 2859 standard determining the batch size. Dimensional tests are carried out (length, diameter, thickness of the copper layer according to ISO 2178), although other types of tests (adherence by clamps, environmental corrosion, electrical tests, ...) have been specifically carried out externally by accredited laboratories.

Characteristics
Protection of people and equipment
It limits the stress of the metal parts in an installation with respect to the ground and therefore allows other protection devices such as circuit breakers to function properly.
Great durability and savings
The installed elements have sufficient protection against corrosion, as well as galvanic compatibility in all installed parts.
AFME Member
With product quality certificate in AENOR, and manufacturing under the most demanding international standards and customer specification.
own laboratory
Laboratory to carry out corrosion tests on the materials to be installed.
electrolytic copper plating
We manufacture earth rods with calibrated steels with low carbon content to guarantee its hardness in the installation.
