How to ground a 200 amp breaker box ?
I have installed a 200 amp service line down to a new meter base, then into a new 200 amp breaker box (upgrade from the 1956- 60 amp service that was there) . I have 2- 8 ' ground rods outside 6' apart , I have a continuous ground wire going to the fartherist grn rod from the nutral in the box. Do I run ground wire from rod to rod or do I run a 2nd wire from the same lug?

You could had left the one ground wire, which should be a min of #6 copper, long enough to be continued onto the next rod.
You cannot cut the wire and stop at the first rod, and then continue onto the next rod with another piece of wire. You may go to each rod from the neutral/equipment ground bar in the panel with a wire to each rod separately. |
