What Is an 8mm Aluminium Conductor?

An 8mm aluminium conductor is a solid or stranded aluminium rod/wire with a nominal diameter of 8 millimeters, used to form a low-resistance path between electrical installations and earth electrodes.

Primary Functions

• Personnel safety from electric shock
• Protection of equipment from fault currents
• Lightning energy dissipation
• Compliance with electrical safety regulations

Why Aluminium Is Preferred for Earthing in India?

India’s diverse soil profiles and climatic conditions demand a grounding material that balances performance and economy. Aluminium offers:

• High conductivity-to-weight ratio
• Natural oxide layer for corrosion resistance
• Easier handling and faster installation
• Cost advantage over copper for large-scale earthing grids

This makes 8mm aluminium conductors ideal for long-distance grounding and large infrastructure projects.
