Hey Everyone,
I have finished a complete rewire of my place... but before I called for an inspection I had a contractor take a look at my work. Everything looks good except for the way I have the grounding set up.
This first diagram is how I actually have it wired.
And this is a pictures of the actual panel (before I wired it) showing where the main wires would go
After talking with the contractor he stated that my grounding wire needs to be continuous from the wire poured in the foundation, through the main panel, and over to the meter.
He also stated that the ground wire needs to be connected to all the conduit with these:
Furthermore, he said that I need to have an additional grounding rod driven into the ground, and from there run a wire to the main water line then back to the ground wire that is poured into the foundation then back to the meter. Here is a diagram that shows it the best I can.
I believe him on the conduit connections but am not convinced on the continuous wire, or second grounding rod.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if a continuous wire is needed... how can you splice #4 AWG copper?
