Even multiple points - so long as they are all only connected to each other and the main service entrance ground connects to the rod array in ONE place. I think that is what Don is talking about. Especially in low-conductive soil, multiple rods can be needed. > Hence the chastising for driving a ground rod at the AC unit. > That would conflict with the ground that should already exist at > the service entrance. A ground rod at the AC unit is fine - so long is it isn't connected to the power at the AC unit! It should only be connected to other ground rods. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
