Grounding Rods
Regarding 200 amp meter base combo install:
Looking for proper placement of copper grounding rods from meter base? If I recall the 1st rod should be 5' from the new meter and the second should be no less that 6' from the first. A little help would be greatly appreciated.... Thank you kindly. |

Re: Grounding Rods
There is no proximity to the first rod. Just that the two be at least 6' apart.

Re: Grounding Rods
Local & utility rules may also apply in your case. Check with your building department and power company.
