    Groud Rod
    I have a detached garage that I am wiring with #8/3 wire and a 40 amp pony panel in the garage. Do I need a ground rod in the garage and if so can I put it close to where the coduit enters the garage??

    A detached structure served by a feeder always requires a grounding electrode.
    A ground rod is usually the easiest.

    You must feed it with a #6cu wire (or bigger:o), and you can put the rod almost anywhere, as long as the top is flush with the ground.
