An earthing rod, also known as a grounding rod or ground electrode, is a metal rod or pipe that is used to establish a connection between an electrical system or equipment and the Earth. The primary purpose of an earthing rod is to provide a low resistance path for electrical currents to flow safely into the ground, thereby preventing the buildup of potentially dangerous voltages and ensuring the safety of people and equipment. Earthing rods are typically made from highly conductive materials such as copper, galvanized steel, or copper clad steel. The choice of material depends on factors like conductivity, corrosion resistance, and cost.
