All grounds terminate at the main AC neutral. It is in the first means of disconect for your service entrance. Everything is bonded together here. From this point out, neutrals and grounds are seperate. Isolated grounds run back to this point without bonding to anything else. All made grounding electrodes bond here. The water service entrance, verticle steel, well casings, concrete encased rebar and your driven ground rods. You will get a lot of conflicting advice on this subject. Do your research and know what you want. Not all electricians are created equal. Some will do what ever you want, even if it is wrong. Call your local inspection agency for an inspection after any work is done. Grounding and bonding are the most misunderstood parts of the NEC.
How's to ground for the dedicated line?
Hi,
I'm going to hire a electrician to do two dedicated lines, and I still confuse about grounding.
1/ Should I ground two dedicated lines to the main breaker grouding? or
2/ Should I ground two dedicated lines together to another grounding that's separately to the main breaker grounding? and how's far should the second ground be from the main breaker grounding?
3/ I hear something that ground right at the outlets. Does anybody know anything about this?
Thanks for your help
