What does the NEC code (meaning a safety ground and not the more
expansive proper lightning dissipation) for minimal grounding of a tower?
I need to get the rural county building inspectors out to look at my
towers and want to show them something that they will have seen before
with respect to a basic safety ground. From what I understand locally
that means a pair of ground rods in a configuration like what would be
required at a house for the mains entry.
Today, that means a Ufer ground - 20 ft of conductor embedded in the
concrete. Conductor can be rebar.
To that end I am unsure what the height of the ground rod should be in
the NEC context? Is the connection wire/rod joint to be made above
grade, even with grade or below grade?
