ERICO® was established in 1903 as the Electrical Railway improvement company specializing in Rail bonding. Today, ERICO ® is a world wide diversified manufacturer with manufacturing operations located in the U.S.A, Europe, Canada, Mexico, South America & Australia.
ERICO ® has engineering capability for all of its markets which enables it to emphasize ongoing product line expansion and development without sacrificing established and continuing product quality.
GROUNDING ROD & ACCESSORIES
ERICO is the world’s largest manufacturer of UL approved Ground rods and accessories and offers a complete range of rods and connections for reliable grounding in nearly any application. The driven earthing (grounding) rod has practically replaced all Other conventional type of earthing methods. These are Economical to install & also it is a convenient way of making Electrical connections and can be easily injected and tested. According to the soil conditions a multiple arrangement of Standard rods is an effective method of lowering ground Resistance.
These rods are made of cold-drawn steel to provide added strength and rigidity for driving under all conditions and a copper cladding of 0.25 mm with 99.9% pure copper is provided to protect the rod against corrosion and to give better electrical earthing performance. ERICO has widest range of grounding accessories required. The total earthing/grounding solutions which includes the coupler for connecting the rods together clamps for connecting the earth conductor to the rod, clamps for connecting the earth conductor, the equipment, etc.

Technical Advantage of CADWELD
- Will carry more current than the conductor
- Will not deteriorate with age
- Is a molecular bond without any risk of loosening or corrosion
- Will result repeated fault current
- Can be quality controlled by simple visual inspection
- Reliable since it eliminates the chance of any surface contact, an electrolyte cannot penetrate between the conductors and cause oxidation and deterioration in the course of time.
Ground Enhancement Material (GEM)
GEM is a superior conductive material that improved grounding effectiveness, especially in areas of poor conductivity like rocky ground, areas of moisture, variation, sand soil, etc.
Effective
- Can dramatically lower earth resistance and impedance measures.
- Reduce resistivity in range from 12 - 18 Ohm cms (20times lower than bentonite clay)
- Once in its "set form", maintains constant resistance for the "life" of the ground system.
- Performs in all soil conditions, even during dry spells.
Permanent
- Does not dissolve, decompose nor leach out with time.
- Does not require periodic charging treatments nor replacement.
- Does not require maintenance
- Does not require continuous presence of water to maintain effectiveness
- Freezing will increase resistivity by only 10 - 15 per cent.
Environmentally friendly
- Does not adversely affect soil
- Does not leach ions nor contaminate ground water
Convenient to install
- It can be installed dry or mixed in a slurry and installed wet
- Enable reduction in the size of a grounding system where conventional methods are unsatisfactory
