What is the minimum depth in feet that a grounding rod must be driven into the ground?
Ground rods in the U.S. on a residential home are 8 foot long and are driven 8 feet into the ground. The top of both ground rods should be flush or just under the surface. One ground rod is placed directly under the meter base and another one is placed 6 feet to either side. They are connected together and grounded to the meter base with the correct size ground wire based on the amperage of the serviced being installed.
What is the proper grounding depth for a rod in wet land?
The wetness of the soil has no bearing on ground rods. Residential wiring requires two 8 foot long ground rods driven flush or just below the surface of the ground. One is mounted under the meter base and the other is mounted 6 feet to either side. <<>> The CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) requires two ten foot rods placed ten foot apart for the grounding system. The top of the rods are identified by diameter and length stamped into the rods. This is to prevent cutting the rods off if rock obstructions are encountered. If the rod will not pound into the ground any further it is bent 90 degrees and buried horizontally and again bent 90 degrees up to allow the top of the rod to protrude above the ground so as a connection can be made to it. In the new addition of the code it now allows a ground plate to be used as a grounding medium. Only one plate is required as it has more surface area than two ground rods. The plate is buried a one metre deep or a minimum of 600 mm if rock bottom is encountered.
