Best Answer

The ground rod should be as close to the distribution panel as possible to keep the grounding conductor short there by keeping the impedance low. The CEC calls for two 10 foot ground rods placed ten foot apart. If the rod can not be driven in all the way it must be bent over and buried. The rods should not be cut off as there are identification marks on the top of the rods. If the electrical inspector can not find these marks he might make you install new rods. Just allowed in the new code are grounding plates. They have to be in direct contact with exterior soil at no less than 600 mm (24") below grade. The nice part is that they can be dug in with a backhoe and then buried. No more hammering.
