Can an insulated copper conductor be used for a ground grid?
E&S Grounding Solutions Jan 8, 2019 0 1350
You may not use insulated wire for your below-grade ground system. This would be a clear violation of every imaginable code, standard, and regulation, including the National Electrical Code (Article 250.52(4) and numerous others) and the Canadian Electrical Code.
What are the lightning protection standards for lightning down conductor installation?
E&S Grounding Solutions Aug 22, 2018 0 1246
There are two standards you will want to look at, the NFPA 780 and the UL96A standard, which provides the Master Label certification program for lightning protection systems.
Why use a bare conductor for below ground grounding instead of an insulated conductor?
E&S Grounding Solutions Mar 3, 2018 0 1918
The reason for using a bare copper conductor below-grade is to maximize the “leakage current” capacity and to maximize the sphere-of-influence of the grounding system.
