Grounding is the electrical system s connection to the ground itself Article 100 of the NEC defines ground as the earth Section 250 4 A 1 states that grounded electrical systems shall be connected to earth in a manner that will limit the voltage imposed by lightning line surges or unintentional contact with higher voltage lines and that will stabilize the voltage to earth

2021 1 18 nbsp 0183 32 Ground rods that are installed in rocky or dry soil should be checked to make sure they still have a low resistance If soil conditions change due to drainage or other factors that affect soil moisture a ground rod that was acceptable at the time of installation may no longer meet approved requirements
Grounding for a Sub Panel Located in the Same Building A second panel or sub panel should have the neutral and ground terminals or bars isolated from each other this is why the main circuit feed to the sub panel must have 4 wires with a dedicated insulated wire for the neutral and a separate wire for the ground
2022 2 3 nbsp 0183 32 Recommended practice is to space multiple ground rods a minimum of twice the length of the rod apart Install deep driven or chemically enhanced ground rods in mountainous or rocky terrain and where soil conditions are poor Detailed design of grounding systems are beyond the scope of this document Earthing electrode

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES NEC 250 5 Grounding and Bonding Grounding and Bonding Electrodes include a metal underground water pipe in direct contact with earth for 10 feet or more a metal frame of a building or structure a concrete encased electrode or a ground ring NEC 250 28 Grounding and Bonding Grounding and Bonding
There are four reasons why this grounding method is not acceptable 1 The primary purpose of a grounding rod is to provide lightning protection A rod is required for separate buildings with subpanels but not as a substitute ground fault path for the system
