To live a happy life, electricity has to be understood and treated with respect. Just like your wife.

 

Especially the multi ground rod people you’re only supposed to have one ground rod per meter.

Actually that’s not true. Code allows multiple supplementary rods as long as they’re connected to the main rod which is itself bonded to the panel. Rod-to-rod connections are prescribed by code.

What you cannot have is a ground rod that is not bonded to the panel. For instance, running a dedicated 20A circuit to one’s listening room, and that circuit’s ground is not returning to the panel; instead, it is connected to its own ground rod. That is expressly forbidden, not to mention it’s absolute sheer idiocy.

That Talking Heads song, 😂🤣
