EARTHROD EARTHROD SIZE 4FIT N0.1

A 4 ft Earth Rod (No. 1) is used to provide a safe path for fault current to flow into the ground, protecting people and electrical equipment from electric shock and damage. It is installed by driving it vertically into the ground and connecting it to the earthing conductor.

Common uses:

Earthing distribution boards (DBs) and electrical installations.

Protecting people from electric shock during insulation faults.

Grounding solar systems (inverters, combiner boxes, and solar panels).

Earthing generators and Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS).

Providing a grounding path for Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) and lightning protection systems.

Reducing the risk of equipment damage caused by electrical faults or lightning.


For the best earthing performance, the earth rod is typically used together with:

Earth wire (green/yellow)

Earth clamp

Earth inspection pit

Earth enhancing compound (where soil resistivity is high).
