Why Choose the ABB PVB2010 Self-Extensible Earth Rod?
The ABB PVB2010 (2CTHCPVB2010) is a self-extensible galvanised steel earth rod designed for earth termination systems used with external lightning protection installations. With a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 1 m, it provides a robust electrode for establishing an effective electrical connection with the surrounding soil.
The PVB2010 is manufactured from a high-resistance steel tube with hot-galvanised protection, combining mechanical strength with corrosion protection for buried earthing applications. Its self-extensible design enables multiple rods to be driven sequentially to increase the effective electrode depth where installation conditions require a deeper earth termination.
ABB specifies the use of a reusable treated-steel driving tool to protect the rod head while the electrode is being driven into the ground. The PVB2010 can be incorporated into rod-based lightning protection earth termination arrangements and used with compatible ABB earth rod clamps and conductors.

Reliable Earth Termination for Lightning Protection Systems
The earth termination system provides the final path through which lightning current is dispersed into the ground. Earth rods are used to establish direct electrical contact with the soil and can be particularly useful where the installation requires a vertical electrode arrangement or where additional electrode depth is needed to achieve the required earthing performance.
The ABB PVB2010 combines a 20 mm diameter, 1 m length and self-extensible construction to support flexible earth electrode configurations. Additional PVB2010 rods can be used to extend the electrode deeper into the ground, while compatible ABB clamps provide the connection between the rod and the lightning protection earthing conductor.
Typical Applications
- External lightning protection systems.
- Rod-based earth termination systems.
- Lightning protection earth electrodes.
- Commercial and industrial building earthing installations.
- Factories, warehouses and production facilities.
- Infrastructure and utility lightning protection systems.
