Just curious if any research has been done on angling ground rods... sharp
bends in the grounding system are no-no’s as we all know... and taking that
right angle at the top of the rod is just that. I was thinking if I angled the
rod at 45 degrees I’d both increase the area of the ‘coverage’ (out further
away from the towers – UFER) as well as reduce the angle between the cable and
the rod... I know some have said longer rods work better (in most
cases/grounds) ... but is that because of the depth or just the area covered?
If the former than angling might not be such a good idea ... if the latter than
it wouldn’t matter and it would help to achieve the two above mentioned goals.
thoughts?
