A
Answer:
Hi John,
Thanks for participating. The grounding electrode system must comply with Section 250.50, meaning all grounding electrodes present should be used to form the grounding electrode system. The Code does not specify a minimum or maximum distance for a ground rod in relation to the service equipment location.
