Grounding rod required?

swami101

Do I need a grounding rod for a subpanel attached to my house but on the opposite side from my main panel? about 40 ft across

As long as it's attached to the same structure, no. You only need rods if the subpanel is in a detached structure.

Thank you.

I assume it will be fed with 4 wires is that correct?

thinking your find, if its fed with 4 wire/220. Where i live a few monthes ago i hired an electrician to replace my main panel and re-use of existing panel as a sub panel in my garage. Inspector cam spendt some time looking and signed off. It has #6 wire running to it. It is 50 am service, i think the run is about 40 ft. but that is acceptable where i live. no new grounding rod was needed, however when i hd my main box upgraded, they added a ground to my water pipe and 2 new ones on m yard.
