I have installed a 208 - 460 step-up transformer for a new machine. The inspector says I need an additional ground wire. Currently have:
Ground wire from panel to transformer chassis.
Also sank an 8' ground rod at transformer.
ground wire from chassis attached to ground rod.
Machine ground wire attaches to chassis.
Inspector wants me to install an additional wire to chassis, and run it all the way back to the main building ground rod (140', through neighbors unit).
Does this sound legitimate? I'm all for safety, but 3 ground sources seems excessive.
Thank you.
