Why choose flexible graphite composite material in power earthing system

As we know,corrosion is a headache problem for metallic grounding grids.like steel,copper, and cladding steel are widely used in power grounding.

In order to solve the rust problem.our company research and develop a new non-metallic grounding material-flexible graphite compound grounding material.It’s made by high-purity flake graphite with a stranded wire hierarchical structure.as a kind of conductor material with good conductivity, high quality and best price,graphite material has been widely used in the  power earthing system, its advantage as below:

1. Better Conductivity & low-resistance

While copper has excellent conductivity, graphite provides low-resistance, efficiently dissipating fault currents and lightning strikes. Unlike steel, it doesn’t corrode, ensuring consistent performance over decades.

2. Long life

Steel material will rust quickly in moist or acidic soil for 4-5 years, requiring frequent replacement. Copper material can form oxide layers which increasing resistance. Graphite, however, resists corrosion—perfect for harsh environment.

3. Light weight & Easy Installation

Copper and steel material are both heavy, requiring heavy machinery and welding. Flexible graphite is lightweight,flexible, and easy construction—reducing labor costs by up to 40%.

4. Long-Term Cost Saving

Though copper offers good performance, but its high cost and maintenance make it expensive over years. Steel is cheap initially but rust quickly. Graphite provides the best ROI with minimal upkeep.
