What are you grounding? The NEC has particulars on grounding so if you
need to meet the code follow it. If you are grounding a Beverage term
end perhaps 4 feet of 1/2 copper will be adequate. Multiple 4 footers
does not equal one 8 footer unless properly spaced and bonded
together. One shots are more expensive than ground rods....false
economy usually. The rod to wire connection is generally the weak
point. 73 bob de w9ge
