Hey Jeffy, Your post got me thinking.... yes, I do occasionally think, but I didn't inhale.
When I added the sub-panel in the garage, I piped it from the main box in plastic conduit. There are three number 4 wires and a single number 6 for the ground between the two panels. The whole project was done with a permit, inspected and signed off with no problems.
I'm beginning to think I need a better ground at the sub-panel. So, I'm going to pound one of those eight foot grounding rods onto the soil (soil? this is the mountains in Colorado, we have rock) and add a ground wire to the sub panel..... all this will be addressed next summer when the ground isn't frozen and covered with snow.
Hmmmm, maybe I can run a ground wire from that panel through the garage ceiling and attach it the water pipes for the room above.....Thanks |
