GI Earthing Electrode with Copper Strip – Hybrid Strip-in-Pipe Solution
The GI Earthing Electrode with Copper Strip is a hybrid solution that combines the durability of galvanized iron with the conductivity of copper. This strip-in-pipe electrode is engineered to enhance electrical safety across various residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Designed for long-term performance, the embedded copper strip significantly reduces resistance and improves dissipation of fault currents. The outer GI pipe provides mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, while the inner copper strip ensures superior conductivity. This dual-metal construction is ideal for modern maintenance-free earthing systems.
With its reliable structure and enhanced conductivity, this product serves as a smart, cost-effective alternative to full copper electrodes—providing a balance of performance and economy.
