Re: [RE-wrenches] Water Pipes as Grounding Electrodes

Ryan, Metallic water pipes are supposed to be grounded; but not relied on as a grounding electrode.  So don't try to ground the solar system to the water pipe because it is supposed to be connected to a grounding electrode.  It should be okay to rely on building steel as the grounding electrod

Re: [RE-wrenches] Water Pipes as Grounding Electrodes

The water pipe should already be grounded to the grounding electrode system. If you connect to that system anywhere, you should be bonded to metallic water pipes, in a properly constructed electrical system. At 12:21 AM 1/7/2010, you wrote: My understanding is that if the water pipe is ferrou

Re: [RE-wrenches] Water Pipes as Grounding Electrodes

Thanks guys, Follow up: When providing a three-line drawing, in New York, on a new construction, few story building, which means they'll have a ground rod (hopefully) at the Main cabinet, do you think it's necessary to detail any ground connections from the solar to the water pipes? No right? (

[RE-wrenches] Water Pipes as Grounding Electrodes

I've had so much conflicting input on the points of Grounding Water pipes or using them as Grounding Electrodes for systems in places like New York and San Francisco. Could someone be kind enough to set me straight on the intentions, functions and applications of this? Ryan J. LeBlanc NABCEPT C
