Earth rods consist combinable individual rods of
length 1.4. This has the ad-
vantage that the coupling closes automatically the
time installation and creates secure connection
from both mechanical and electrical point of
view.5 The connection made using coup-
ling consisting hole and stud. This conducive good
electrical contact. The possible penetration depth the
earth rods depends various geological factors.4
