TECHNICAL NOTES:
NEC 2005 Article 250-53(G) (Summarized)
The electrode shall be installed so that 8' of length is in contact with the soil. It shall be driven to a
depth of not less than 8' except where rock bottom is encountered. In the case of bedrock, the
electrode shall be driven at an angle not to exceed 45 degrees from the vertical or shall be buried in
a trench that is at least 2-1/2' deep.
UL467 9.2.1 (Summarized)
A solid rod electrode of copper or other suitable non-ferrous metal, or a solid rod electrode of iron
or steel with a copper or other suitable non-ferrous metal or stainless steel jacket, shall have a
diameter not less than 1/2" thick.
UL 467 9.2.3 (Summarized)
The copper jacket mentioned in 9.2.1 shall not be less than .010" thick at any point.
RUS (Rural Utilities Service) ground rods have a 13 mil copper plating thickness.
APPLICATION NOTES:
Copper Ground Plates are used in areas having little or no top soil.
Can also be used to enhance ground grid systems.
Can be used in conjunction with earth enhancement material such as Ultrafill.
4/0
Perimeter
Conductor Listed 2S01
APPLICATION NOTES:
For enhancing external grounding systems at radio, paging, cellular, etc. transmitting/receiving facilities.
If strategically placed, mesh can be used as a safety adjunct to reduce dangerous step and touch potentials.
4/0 perimeter makes for easy attachment to ground conductors.
Harger offers two basic styles, vertical and horizontal (L-shaped). We also offer a variety of lengths, sectionals
and different kits to meet your specific requirements.

The Enhanced Ground Rod Numbering System allows you to customize the product to meet your specific needs.
In the above example, the product specified is a stainless steel, 10' long, L-shaped ground rod that includes an
inspection well and 2 - 50 pound bags of Ultrafill with a #2 solid tinned 5' tail exothermically welded to the rod.
The part number is EGRSS10LWG2T.
TECHNICAL NOTES:
UL 467 9.2.7 (Summarized)
A hollow-tube, chemically-charged-rod electrode shall:
a) Be constructed of copper or an equivalent material resistant to the corrosive effects of moist soil;
b) Have an internal diameter not less than 2 inches and a wall thickness not less than .080 inch; and
c) If the means of installation is not obvious, be accompanied by adequate installation instructions.
UL 467 9.2.8 (Summarized)
The chemical charge within the rod electrode described in 9.2.7 shall be a substance that does not cause
the electrode to corrode at a faster rate than an electrode constructed of 3/4 inch trade size rigid ferrous
metal conduit.
UL 467 9.2.9 (Summarized)
With reference to 9.2.8, a chemical charge of 60 percent sodium chloride and 40 percent calcium chloride
may be used if the total weight of the charge is less than 11 pounds.
2S01
APPLICATION NOTES:
Enhanced grounds are used in high resistivity soil conditions and when low resistance ground
electrode systems are critical.
Conductor is welded 18" down from the top.
Outside diameter of copper tube is 2-1/8".
UL 467 listed. UL2S01 is Harger's UL identification number.
2S01
28"
APPLICATION NOTES:
Enhanced grounds are used in high resistivity soil conditions and when low resistance ground
electrode systems are critical.
L-shaped enhanced ground rods are used when proper depth cannot be achieved due to physical
conditions such as bedrock.
Conductor is welded 18" down from the top.
Outside diameter of copper tube is 2-1/8".
UL 467 listed. UL2S01 is Harger's UL identification number.
Ultrafill is ideal for use in rocky soil, sand, gravel or any other high
resistance soil conditions. It is also the ideal backfill material for use Part No. Wt.
around enhanced ground rods and ground grid systems. ULTRAFILL 50 lbs.
Ultrafill is easy to use, safe and effective. Unlike other backfill products, Ultrafill is relatively dust free and does not
require mixing in water prior to installation. (However, Ultrafill does mix readily with water if required).
