ericwlewis Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 This is the first time I've seen this. Why would they run two ground wires from the neutral/ground buss to separate grounding rods? The two ground rods were about 4' apart. I don't know why but I can't load the picture. I've done it before. My wife the computer guru, is not home.

Jim Port Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Maybe it was easier than having a jumper between the two rods. Nothing wrong with this method. The problem is the rods should be no closer than 6' to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plummen Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 If there was no access to a water service for grounding water service that is the way to do it,called a redundent ground. You normally see things like that on a detached garage with seperate electrical service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
