Code states that a grounding rod needs to be 8 feet long. A 6 foot rod should be okay in theory, but 8' is code.
As long as the clamp is of an approved type only one is needed per ground rod.
Yes, any flexible conduit that has live wires drawn into it must have a ground wire also installed with the "hot" conductors. The reasoning behind this rule is that the flex in the conduit is coiled and has a long length to it. The continuation of the grounding medium through the tightness of the conduit connectors to the flex was not considered a properly secured grounding system so to overcome this weakness in the grounding system, a ground wire now has to be installed.
In a completely metallic conduit system it is not necessary to ground each junction box as long as the metallic system has the grounding capacity rating larger than that of the over current device protecting the circuit. The code book states what size conduits are rated at, for grounding amperages.
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.
You can. Using these size breakers in a 60 amp sub panel might be pushing the limit for breaking the sub panels feeder breaker. The breaker feeding the sub panel will have to be no bigger than 60 amps because of the main bus bar capacity of the sub panel. It would be better to install a 100 amp sub panel and then there would be a bit of a buffer and you will have the ability to add additional small load circuits.
Yes, as long as there is no obstruction to the front of the distribution panel. Code states that there has to be 3 foot clearance in front of the distribution panel.

no..never
Long enough to urinate successfully.
The NuScan has about a three foot cable, which should be long enough for most people.
Yes, as long as there is fusing between the generator and the transfer panel. This fuse can be no larger than 20 amps. Without this fuse the load that the transfer panel is handling could go as high as the generator output (30 amps) which is a current that the transfer panel is not rated for.
Yes, as long as there is enough typical/backup/standby power for both.
It depends on the density of the material.
If the plastic box has a ground wire attached to the GFCI and the ground at the fuse panel, you do not need to ground the box itself. As long as the ground wire is connected to the GFCI and the fuse panel, the box will be effectively grounded. Just ensure that all connections are secure and properly fastened.
A 6 foot pc cable should be sufficient for most home office set ups.
for USA, Canada and other countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The grounding of a mobile home is coverd by the same regulation as used for single family dwellings. Two ten foot, 5/8ths of an inch, ground rods driven into the ground ten foot apart or a ground plate with the same surface area as the rods dug into the earth to a depth of two feet. The wire from the rods or plate, sized by the amperage of the electrical panel, is connected to the same neutral bar that the incoming street neutral connects to in the electrical panel.Drive a long rod in the ground and run a wire from the rod to the mobile homeAs always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
The Valeo Speed Rope is 10 foot long.That's long enough for all except the tallest adults.
