Ground Rods
The purpose of a ground rod is to connect the grounding system to earth where current may be dissipated in moist soil. They should be at least 8 feet long, but a 10-foot rod is better. A longer ground rod will reach a soil with a higher moisture content. Moist soil carries current much better than drier soil. Placing a ground rod in moist soil is particularly important considering the drought conditions of recent years.
Ground rods should be either copper-clad or galvanized steel rods having a minimum diameter of 5/8” with a 3/4” diameter preferred. The larger the rod diameter, the lower it’s resistance to current flow. The National Electric Code (NEC) mandates two ground rods unless you can show less than 25 ohms resistance with one rod.
