We augured the holes and set the XIT ground rods today. In the pictures you will see the the 12" strap attached to the ground rod (bolted with stainless steel hardware and silver soldered of course). We made this connection before dropping them in the hole. The 4/0 copper that comes standard on these rods will not be used except for on the one by the electric room. It will be used to bond the system to the building ground system. The next step is to bolt and silver solder the tails you see coming off the rods to the buried strap in the previous pictures.

Bjarney,

Yes the bussbar in which you are referring is the neutral buss. The three behined it are the primary termination pads. The six on the bottom are the duel outputs I referred to. X1,X2,X3 and Y1,Y2,Y3. The white over the jumpers is a vinyl covering installed at the factory.

Actually this is a design build job. We (I) are engineering the job. The specs come from the client whom we did a job like this for before. Despite the last part of our name, "Electrical Contractors and Engineers" we do not have a PE on staff at this time. We hired an engineering firm to help out and provide stamped drawings for the AHJ and as a CYA.
