Alternitive ground lead tails
Alternitive ground lead tails
(OP)
After seeing the results of several copper thefts, we have been looking for alternitives to copper ground leads in substations.
Has any one had any experence with other types other than copper?
We have discussed the pro's and con's of both painted copper, and copper weld, but nether seem ideal.

Most of the copper theves that have been cought localy are on meth, so they really don't keep up with the price of commidies until they try to sell them. Which is why copperweld won't work very well.

There are also galvanized steel grounding rods factory made.
