Earth Discharge Rod Manufacturers, Exportersin Australia
Earth Discharge Rod Manufacturers in Australia. Top Quality Rods Suppliers, Exporters & Service Providersin Australia
We are the leading earth Discharge rod manufacturersin Australia, suppliers, traders and exportersin Australia. Our new technological earth Discharge rod is specially designed in such a way to protect people working at de-energized overhead lines or bus.
This gives more safety against unexpected return of power on the network and personnel working on electrical systems by preventing accidental electric shocks from stored charge in capacitors, transformers, or overhead lines. These are majorly used in power transmission lines, electrical substations, industrial electrical systems and capacitor banks also.
Types of Earth Discharge Rods
One of the former earth Discharge rod manufacturers and suppliers in Australia, we are providing multiple types of earth Discharge rod such as:
- Portable Earthing Rod: Our new technological portable earthing rod are majorly used in temporary earthing during electrical works and basically these are grounding devices used to safety discharge residual electrical energy before maintenance or repair work. They are particularly useful for linemen working on power lines, transformers, and circuit breakers. We have used strong and high quality of materials such as fiberglass, to ensure portability and easy handling.
- Telescopic Discharge Rod: Our telescopic Discharge Rods are designed with an extendable pole that allows users to safely discharge high-voltage equipment without direct contact. These rods are widely used in substations and transmission lines where equipment is located at an elevated height. These new technological discharge rods come with a discharge probe and grounding cable for safe dissipation of trapped charges.
- High Voltage Discharge Rod: These new technological high voltage discharge rod designed to safely discharge equipment operating at voltages above 33kV. These rods are crucial in power plants, substations, and large-scale electrical infrastructure projects where high-voltage equipment is frequently used. These are specially designed for handling high-voltage applications (typically above 33kV) and equipped with high-strength copper or aluminum conductors to enhance conductivity
- Capacitor Discharge Rod: Our capacitor discharge rod is designed to safely discharge capacitors, which have the ability to store electrical energy even after a circuit is turned off. Capacitors can release energy suddenly if not properly discharged, posing a risk to technicians and engineers. Due to its working mechanism, these are used in industrial power systems, including capacitor banks and reactive power compensation units.
Features and Benefits of our Earth Discharge Rods
The former earth Discharge rods exporters and suppliers in Australia, Our all types of earth Discharge rods are manufactured with new technological feature and gives higher benefits such as:
- High-Voltage Insulation: Made of high-strength fiberglass, composite polymer, or fiber-reinforced plastic to prevent electrical conduction.
- Lightweight and Portable: Designed for easy handling and transportation, ensuring quick deployment in the field.
- High-Quality Conductors: Uses multi-stranded copper, aluminum, or braided conductors for efficient grounding.
- Varied Length Options: These are available in fixed (1.5m – 6m) and telescopic (2m – 10m) variants to suit different operational needs.
- Weather-Resistant Materials: UV-resistant and moisture-proof, making them ideal for outdoor applications in harsh environments.
- Fast Discharge Time: Can instantly or gradually discharge high-voltage circuits, reducing risk to maintenance personnel.
- IEC & IEEE Compliance: Designed according to IEC 61230, IEEE 1048, ANSI, ASTM F711 standards for global safety and reliability.
