Earthing Strip & Rod System — Overview

India Electricals Syndicate manufactures complete earthing and grounding systems at Howrah — copper-bonded earth rods, GI earth strips and flats, clamps, and the accessories that tie a grounding network together. A correctly engineered earth system carries fault and lightning current safely to ground and holds touch and step potentials within limits; IES builds and tests each element to the relevant Indian and IEC standards.

The system is manufactured and routine-tested to IS:3043 and IEC 62561, with NABL-accredited test certificates available for tender and inspection submissions. Earth rods, strips, plates and bonding hardware are matched as a coordinated kit so the installed resistance and joint integrity meet the project earthing design.

Material is traceable from IS:2062 steel and electrolytic copper through fabrication, with hot-dip galvanizing where specified for long buried-life corrosion resistance. Share your earthing layout and target resistance with a quote request and the Howrah engineering desk will return a documented system offer.
