On a job that has 1200A 208Y service CT can at xfmr. I have a copper water pipe ground and steel structure ground. My GEC shall be 2/0cu to structure.

My helper(lead man) is wanting to drive several rods to form a grid and take the GEC to the grid I say take it to the structure.

If we drove rods, would the GEC be a #6 as the 2002 code states (250.66)? Or is that for a single rod electrode?
