Stainless Steel Ground Rod
Stainless Steel Ground Rod is used to overcome many of the problems caused by galvanic corrosion which can take place between dissimilar metals buried in close proximity. Electrodes of rods of iron or steel shall be at least 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) in diameter.
Stainless steel rods less than 5/8 inch (15.9mm) in diameter, nonferrous rods, or their equivalent shall be listed and shall be not less than 1⁄2 inch (12.7mm) in diameter.If it has a ground resistance of 25 ohms or more, 250.56 of the 2005 NEC requires you to drive a second rod.
But many contractors don't bother measuring the ground resistance. They simply plan on driving two rods because doing so will meet the requirements of 250.56, regardless of actual ground resistance. Stainless Steel Ground Rod is used to overcome many of the problems caused by galvanic corrosion which can take place between dissimilar metals buried in close proximity. Other advantages of stainless steel rods are that they are highly resistant to corrosion and are much more anodic than copper.
Common ground rod material choice is predicated on the corrosion resistance of the rod, balanced with the longevity of the system. Galvanized steel, copper-bonded steel, and stainless steel is the foremost common materials thought about for grounding systems in most elements of the globe.
Copper is the best selection of earth conductor material and underground conductor – solid copper is suggested recommended} for top fault current installations whereas copper secured rods are usually put in for smaller sections.
Stainless steel ground rods provide a means of conducting current from a ground wire into the ground. Gibson Stainless offers ground rods in Type 316 SS and Type 304 SS in 8 and 10-foot lengths.
