Proper installation is critical for an effective grounding system. Key best practices include:

1. Use Quality Materials: Always use high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, such as copper-bonded steel earth rods and copper conductors, which are proven to withstand environmental stresses.

2. Proper Sizing: The grounding cable must be correctly sized to handle the maximum expected fault current.

3. Secure Connections: All connections must be tight and secure to ensure low resistance. We highly recommend using exothermic welding, which creates a molecular bond for permanent, low-resistance connections that are superior to mechanical clamps.

4. Regular Testing: Periodically test the resistance of the grounding system to ensure its integrity and effectiveness over time.
