Does rebarb work for ground rod?
No the re-bar will rust in the ground when exposed to the ground dampness. This will cause the rod ground resistance to gradually increase. Approved ground rods are either copper clad or galvanized. In locations where it is impossible to drive a 10 foot rod into the ground the electrical code has approved ground plates that can be dug in and buried at two feet in depth. You want the resistance to be as low as possible on a grounding circuit. Alternatively, if that re-bar is part of the concrete foundation (Ufer ground) of the structure (and at least 20 feet long, 1/2" min. diameter) it is a perfectly acceptable grounding electrode. [NEC 250.52A3]
How does a ground wire let electrons get to the ground?
The ground wire (equipment grounding conductor) runs back to the panel then to a ground rod. If there is a ground fault in the circuit, the current will flow on the equipment grounding conductor back to ground. Electricity follows the path of least resistance. This is why a ground wire is so important and why NOTHING should ever be hooked to a ground wire. It has the least resistance back to source.
Introduction and characteristics of copper bonded steel ground rod?
Introduction of copper bonded steel ground rod Copper bonded steel ground rod, also known as copper-plated steel rod, is made of hard steel inside, and the outer layer of steel is plated with a layer of copper. The length is generally 1.5m, 2m, 2.5m, 3m, and the diameter is generally 14-25mm. Compared with pure copper rod, copper bonded steel ground rod saves copper material, saves cost, has the same conductivity, and contains the hardness of copper. The copper bonded steel ground rod is mainly used for lightning protection and grounding, which can reduce the resistance value. When the roof lightning rod is struck by lightning, the current can be quickly released to achieve the lightning protection effect. ● Q235 low carbon steel is used, and after large-diameter cold drawing processing, the tensile strength is enhanced, and the toughness is maintained ●The copper layer of the product is firm and has strong corrosion resistance ●The copper layer is not cracked or peeled after bending 180° ●The effect of reducing resistance is obvious ●Long life: 50 years without corrosion Copper bonded steel ground rod/independent grounding pole, reducing the impact grounding resistance of the tower is an effective measure for lightning protection. In order to accurately analyze the impact characteristic law of the grounding device, this paper uses the existing portable tower impact grounding resistance measuring instrument, selects the actual line tower grounding The current and voltage waveforms of the simulated lightning current of the tower grounding device were measured by means of the field test method of the device injecting the simulated lightning impulse current. According to the same conditions as the field test, combined with theoretical calculation and CDEGS simulation analysis, the field test results are in good agreement with the theoretical calculation and simulation analysis. The above is the introduction of copper bonded steel ground rod. copper bonded steel ground rod Features of copper bonded steel ground rod The copper bonded steel ground rod is very easy to install. The electrode unit is installed horizontally, and the amount of excavation is small; No water is required for copper bonded steel ground rod installation. It is especially suitable for construction sites where water is scarce such as in the wild and high mountains; Copper bonded steel ground rod is highly effective in reducing resistance. The three-layer resistance reduction structure is adopted to achieve the ideal comprehensive resistance reduction effect in a limited area; The copper bonded steel ground rod has a long service life. The electrode unit is treated with special anti-corrosion treatment, and the composite backfill can be tightly wrapped, which has a corrosion inhibitory effect on the metal electrode unit; The copper bonded steel ground rod has stable grounding resistance. The main component of the composite backfill is conductive graphite, which relies on electrons to conduct electricity, and the electrode unit will continue to release conductive ions into the surrounding soil to improve the soil around the grounding body. Copper bonded steel ground rod has high safety. The grounding device is designed with a leakage ring structure, which can effectively reduce the ground potential rise caused by the passage of large currents and ensure the safety of ground personnel. The copper bonded steel ground rod is made of super corrosion-resistant material and is suitable for a variety of connection methods. The above are the features of copper bonded steel ground rod.

When installing the ground rod what is the maximum distance from the ground rod to the secondary distribution center?
5 feet
Why do churches have a copper wire attached to the ground?
The wire connects to the lightning rod located on the highest elevation of the church. If the church takes a hit from lightning, the wire makes for an easy low resistance path to ground with minimal damage to the building structure.
How do you use bentonite in electrical grounding?
Bentonite has an affinity for water. By packing Bentonite around the ground rod it increases the conductivity of the ground rod. Ground rods are not supposed to have a resistance above 5 ohms when compared to the utility's ground grid. Getting the ground rod into this resistance zone in bad soil conditions is aided by the use of Bentonite.
Why does your grounding meter read OL from gen to 1st ground rod and from 1st to 2nd ground rod get 28.51 ohms?
Code requires that the resistance between the two grounding electrodes be 25 ohms or less. You don't mention how deep they are or how far apart they are. THat will make a difference. Or it could be the soil they are in.You need to get the resistance down

What is a ductor tester?
if you have a meeger, then the ductor test it's its complemet. ductor test is carried out to find very low resistance such as contact or ground.
Does ground have a high resistance?
It depends on the definition of resistance and the definition of ground. If you are referring to resistance as in resistance to electric current, the answer will be different than if you are referencing resistance as in friction. Also, the ground is not consistent. There are many types of "ground." More specification is necessary here in order to receive a sufficient answer.
When installing the ground rod what is the maximum distance from the ground rod to the secondary distribution center?
5 feet
Why are the insulation resistance values higher for test between phase than between phase and ground?
When testing two cables there is twice the the amount of insulation, as opposed to one cable to ground.
What is the function of a lighting rod?
Knowing that lightning will strike sooner or later, and that when it does, it will take the path of least resistance between a thundercloud and the ground, the purpose of a lightning rod is to make sure that when lightning does happen, it strikes where you want it to, and takes the path to the ground that you want it to, rather than taking the path through somebody's house, tree, or body.
What test would identify a short circuit in a lighting circuit?
earth continuity insulation resistance polarity
Why do churches have a copper wire attached to the ground?
The wire connects to the lightning rod located on the highest elevation of the church. If the church takes a hit from lightning, the wire makes for an easy low resistance path to ground with minimal damage to the building structure.
