250.56 and 250.64(F):
If 25 ohms or less is not achieved with one ground rod, and a second one is added, do the two need to be tied together with the same continuous wire back to the common bonding point (panel)? I realize that an irreversible connection could be used but is there any reason that a separate wire couldn't be run from each of the two rods back to the panel? BTW, Wisconsin requires two ground rods no matter what.
