They are driven into nat-
ural soil, which usually only found beneath found-
ations.
• Down-conductors are interconnected near the sur-
face the ground. Depending the soil
conditions, earth rods can driven into the earth by
hand using suitable electric, petrol pneumatic
hammers.
The required earther lengths may
be split into several lengths con-
nected parallel.
