gfretwell, I guess the water line would be the primary electrode and the ground rods the secondary. I've always run the ground to the water pipe, from the the service equipment. I don't have the code section with me now, but if my memory serves me correct, It does have to come from the service equipment and not a sub panel.. Thanks again. just refreshing my memory. Had a job and wasn't thinking. Since the old existing panel had their ground wire coming from the subpanel to the water pipe, unthinkingly ( is that a word?? ) I got just enough grd. wire to do what they did. Guess I'll have to get some more wire [Linked Image]
Just wasn't thinking
