Separate ground for dedicated line


I would like to install a dedicated line or 2 with a separate ground. Would installing a ground rod in my crawl space and running two ground wires from the outlet (1 to the rod and the other to the main breaker box) be acceptable in terms of tying the grounds together? I am not certain where the main ground is located since the power feed to the house is buried with no exposed cables.
I need to do something as the stereo is on a noisy 14 guage lighting circuit. Thanks.

Hi Stephen,

Don't run the grounds the way you described. If you ad an extra ground rod do it at the main service. Make sure you bond the new ground rod to your existing ground rod. Two ground rods are a bit much IMO. Feel free to research some of my tech talk threads for helpful hints on dedicated circuits. Sean, others and myself have discussed this subject more than once. I think we covered every possible scenario. My suggestions stem from over 20 years as an Electrician.
