Discharging Rod

Discharging rod typically refers to a safety device used in electrical systems to discharge any residual voltage in a circuit or equipment before maintenance work is performed In Mehsana, Kadi, Kalol, Deesa, Palanpur and Radhanpur North Gujarat, India, discharging rods are commonly used in electrical maintenance procedures to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel.
The discharging rod, also known as an earthing rod or grounding rod, is usually made of a conductive material such as copper or aluminum and is designed to safely divert any remaining electrical charge to the ground. This prevents accidental electric shocks or damage to equipment during maintenance.
Discharging rods are an essential part of electrical safety procedures, particularly in industries where high-voltage equipment is involved. They help ensure that maintenance work can be performed safely, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
Discharge Rod are. Available in various specifications of 11KV, 22KV, 33KV, 66KV, 132KV, 220KV, 400KV These earthing rods are manufacturer in our plant that is fully automatic and have strong electrical and mechanical strength. It is convenient to handle and easy to work, it is light weight and vibration free. It is 100% safe with guaranteed long life and no maintenance.

    

Use of Discharging Rod

Discharging capacitors in high-voltage circuits
Discharging transformers, busbars, isolators, or switchgear
Used before performing maintenance on de-energized but potentially charged systems
Used in substations, power plants, and industrial facilities
Features :
High-voltage insulation usually rated 11kV, 33kV, 132kV, or more
Flexible copper grounding cable for reliable connection
Hook or clamp for safe engagement with energized components
Protective resistor in some types (to limit inrush current during discharge)

Applications

• High-voltage substations
  Capacitor banks
  Overhead transmission lines
  Power transformers
  Switchgear and busbars
  Railway electrification systems

Components of a Discharging Rod

• Insulated Rod : Usually made from fiberglass or epoxy resin to provide dielectric strength.
  Discharge Head / Hook : The metal end that touches the charged equipment.
  Flexible Grounding Cable : Typically copper, connects to a reliable grounding point.
  Earth Clamp : Connects the grounding cable to a grounding bar, rod, or grid.
