ELECTROLYTIC GROUNDING SYSTEMSWhy Install An Electrolytic Grounding System?
 ChemRod is a multipurpose grounding system that has been designed to provide long term protection from lightning, electrical transients, static discharges, electro-magnetic interference and other electrical hazards. The system may be used for virtually any application where the protection of machinery, electronics and personnel is important.
ChemRod has been designed for use in any type of soil condition. Some of the many applications where it is commonly used include: cellular, radio and television broadcasting sites, computerfacilities, powersubstations, communication centers medical facilities and industrial plants.
Protection your expensive equipment is essential. ChemRod enhances the performance of your electronics, stabilizes signal references, and reduce the risk of injuries. The end result is a stable grounding system that provides undisturbed long-term performance
Principles Of Operation
 The ChemRod effectively utilizes a hydroscopic process to acquire moisture from the atmosphere. The moisture and the nontoxic chemicals inside the electrode react an electrolytic solution. This electrolytic solution leaches into the surrounding soil through ports that have been positioned in the electrode. This process improves the soil conductivity and dramatically reduces electrical resistance between the electrode and earth.
 ChemRod also takes advantage of another benefit. The hole bored for the installation is back-filled with PetInfilll, which also assists in substantially lowering the earth’s resistance by creating a direct, low resistance, electrical connection between the electrodes and the earth. The use of PetInfilll will reduce impedance by increasing the effective contact area of the electrode to the soil. PetInfilll is an easily applied product manufactured from environmentally safe and stable products. Each kit includesPetInfilll as the backfill material.
