Did you know 68% of generator failures stem from poor grounding? Or that 42% of electric fence malfunctions trace back to subpar earth rod
installations? When lightning strikes or power surges hit, your earth rod becomes the silent guardian protecting your assets. But are you using the right defense system?
(earth rod)
Our generator earth rod systems feature copper-bonded cores with 99.9% conductivity - 3x better than galvanized competitors. See how we dominate:
We manufacture rods that make connecting earth cable to earth rod simpler than ever. Our secret? The patented ClampShield system eliminates 92% of connection failures reported with standard clamps.
Rocky soil? High moisture? Our electric fence earth rod kits adapt to any terrain. Choose from:
After losing $18,000 in livestock to fence failures, Texas Ranch upgraded to our earth rod system. Result? Zero breaches through 3 severe storm seasons.
Why risk another season with unreliable grounding? Our team at ShieldVolt Grounding provides:

A: Strip the cable's insulation, attach it to the earth rod's terminal clamp using a copper connector, and tighten the bolts firmly. Ensure the connection is corrosion-resistant and waterproof for durability.
A: A generator earth rod safely redirects fault currents to the ground, preventing electric shocks and equipment damage. It ensures compliance with electrical safety standards during power outages.
A: Yes, but ensure the rod is placed at least 3 meters from livestock watering systems to avoid interference. For optimal safety, use a dedicated rod to isolate the fence's electrical circuit.
A: Copper-bonded or galvanized steel rods are ideal due to their corrosion resistance and conductivity. Copper-bonded rods offer better long-term performance in moist or saline soil.
A: Drive the rod at least 8 feet (2.4 meters) into the ground to reach stable, moist soil layers. Deeper installation improves grounding efficiency, especially in dry regions.
A: Yes, space rods at least twice their length apart to prevent overlapping resistance zones. For example, two 8-foot rods should be 16 feet apart for effective grounding.
A: Use an earth resistance tester to measure resistance—values below 25 ohms are acceptable. If resistance is high, add more rods or pour water around the rod to improve conductivity.
