The National Electrical code is also very specific on acceptable electrodes for the
ground. Some possible grounding electrodes are:
Grounded Interior Metal Water Pipe (cold water).
Ground Rod (must be driven at least 8 feet into the ground).
Grounded Metallic Service Raceway.
Grounded Electrical Service Equipment Enclosure.
There are also specific instructions for the correct method of attaching to each
ground electrode to the ground conductor. For more details on each of these
grounding electrodes, consult the National Electrical Code handbook and any
active codes in your area.
Note: Appendix C of this manual contains sections of the National Elec-
trical Codes that apply to the installation DSS system.
There are two holes in the mounting foot for connecting a ground conductor.
Hardware (a nut, bolt, and star washer) to connect the ground conductor to the foot
is included in the hardware package.
