Grounding Rod

Where should I connect the grounding rod to? I am planning to put a 8' grounding rod. But should I connect it to the ground of the AC outlet? I have a dedicated line and I can wire the grounding rod to the ground contact of the AC outlet. Or should I connect it to the equipment?

I have read a few theory on the net. I'd like to know what works best in practice.

Actually, when you go to the home big box store, ask for an
AC voltage sensor. If the guy/gal working in the electrical department has done any industrial work before, they'll know a 'prox' from a 'ticker'.

heyraz - very well explained, especially for not being an electrician.
