Tom,

While we're more or less on the subject, with the requirement from allegheny power for two ground rods, (even when the resistance is low enough to need only one according to the NEC, less than 25 Ohms)
Can one use a ground ring or ground plate substitute for each ground rod? I'm in very rocky soil here in the limestone belt of Greenbrier County. Or has AP gone above and beyond code with their requirements again?
