... Hi gang, I'm planning on running a 60 amp, 240 volt, single phase feeder out to a detached garage to a sub-panel...my question is... do I need a ground rod out there, or will the bare grounding wire in the SER cable suffice?? I'm using 1-1/4" pvc pipe to go underground, but if I don't use SER, and just pull THHN,..does the grounding conductor then have to be insulated??

Thanx....
