User & Installation manual Appendix
• Length:
Minimum 2.5 meters (8 feet), preferably 3-meter (10-foot). A longer ground rod will
reach a soil with higher moisture content. Moist soil carries current much better
than drier soil.
• Single grounding:
It is important that there is only one grounding location where a rod or series of
rods are connected to each other using a ground wire.
Independent ground rods will increase the risk of current, from a lightning strike for
example, being dissipated through one rod and reentering the system through an
adjacent rod.
• Location;
Close to the main circuit breaker panel and in moist soil. For example in an area
that is usually wet from a drip or a low spot where water drains. Make sure the
area is well protected from damage by lawnmowers, tractors, etc’.
