What is the difference between grounding rods, discharge rods, and brake rods?

Grounding rods, discharge rods, and brake rods are all types of safety tools. The grounding rod is a part of the grounding wire. The conductor is buried underground and the ground discharge rod is suitable for outdoor high-voltage testing, especially after conducting DC withstand voltage testing, using the grounding rod to place the accumulated charges on the test object to ensure personal safety; Pull rods are used to connect or disconnect high-voltage isolation switches, drop fuses, install and remove portable grounding wires, and measure and test.


1、The grounding rod is installed on electrical equipment or circuits, which can connect the equipment or circuits to the ground, so that in the event of a short circuit in the equipment or circuit, current can enter the ground, thereby protecting personal safety and the safe operation of electrical equipment.

2、A discharge rod is a device that can release atmospheric electricity in ionized air, eliminating or reducing static charges and electric field strength in the atmosphere, and reducing the risk of fire and explosion caused by static electricity.

3、The brake rod is a type of discharge rod that can generate high voltage. In some special work situations, such as laboratories, electronic processing factories, etc., it is necessary to remove static charges and electric field strength, so brake rods are used.


Therefore, there are differences in the functions and uses of grounding rods, discharge rods, and brake rods. Grounding rods are mainly used for the safety of electrical equipment or lines, while discharge rods and connecting rods are mainly used to remove static charges and electric field strength.
