3. INDIRECT GROUNDING USING A TRAILING GROUND WIRE
Indirect grounding using a trailing ground. This grounding alternative allows
holiday testing without an obstructing cable, if direct grounding is not possible.
To use the ground cable using the trailing ground method please remove the
quick connect grounding clamp if you have it attached, to keep it clean so it
makes good ground connection when needed (some earlier kit versions may
not have this kit part).
IMPORTANT: Soil Moisture is very important to establishing a good ground
using the trailing grounding method, if the trailing ground wire is on soil that is
too dry, there is ice or it is on cement this method will not work properly and
the trailing ground will need to be connected to a grounding rod. Refer to the
Grounding Methods on page 16 for more details.
