Technical Superiority: Why 16mm Beats Thinner Rods
Our copper-bonded 16mm rods deliver 98% conductivity - 22% higher than galvanized alternatives. See how they outperform:
| Spec | 16mm Premium | 12mm Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Corrosion Resistance | 40+ years | 15 years |
| Max Surge Capacity | 200kA | 80kA |
Installation Mastery: Connecting Earth Cable to Earth Rod
Our EXO-Clamp system reduces connection time by 65% versus traditional methods. Three steps to perfection:
- 1. Slide clamp onto rod (no threading!)
- 2. Insert cable - automatic pressure seal activates
- 3. Tighten single bolt - done in under 90 seconds
Proven Performance: Where 16mm Rods Shine
Jakarta's Mega Tower used 1,200 rod bumi 16mm units to achieve 0.8Ω ground resistance in wetland soil. Result? Zero surge-related downtime since 2021.

FAQS on 16mm earth rod
Q: How to properly connect an earth cable to a 16mm earth rod?
A: Use a high-quality clamp or exothermic weld to attach the cable to the rod. Ensure the connection is tight and corrosion-resistant. Regularly inspect for wear or damage.
Q: Why choose a 16mm diameter earth rod for grounding systems?
A: A 16mm earth rod provides sufficient conductivity and durability for most residential and commercial applications. Its thickness balances ease of installation with effective grounding performance. It meets international standards for safety and efficiency.
Q: What is the difference between a "rod bumi 16mm" and a "16mm earth rod"?
A: "Rod bumi 16mm" is the Indonesian/Malay term for a 16mm earth rod. Both refer to the same grounding component, designed to safely dissipate electrical faults into the ground. The terminology varies by regional language standards.
Q: Can a 16mm earth rod be installed in rocky soil?
A: Yes, but pre-drilling or using specialized driving equipment may be necessary. Ensure the rod reaches the required depth for optimal grounding. Soil conductivity testing is recommended beforehand.
Q: How often should connections to a 16mm earth rod be inspected?
A: Inspect connections at least annually or after extreme weather events. Check for corrosion, loose clamps, or damaged cables. Immediate repairs ensure continuous grounding protection.
