Need to BUY electrode mixture for Ground ROD?

Question

What is a good Electrode mixture for a Ground Rod? How deep do you need to dig for mixture to work effectively? Any other suggestions? How far should the nearst rod be for nuetral & ground connection for XO baseline at the load center?

Answer 1

Sonny too much is right plus if you have too poor soil conditions then another ground rod 6 feet away. Copperclad 3/4 inch x 8 feet is best.

Answer 2

The ground rod should be driven into the soil. Check with your local utility company to find out what length of ground rod you need. It will probably be 6 or 8 feet.The rod needs to be as close to the neutral bar as possible.
