/* Install Residential Grounding Rod */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
Grounding rods are driven into the earth to a depth of at least 8 feet.  If rock is hit at less than 8 feet, the grounding rod can be driven at an angle but the angle cannot exceed 45 degrees.  A grounding rod can also be buried on top of rock in a trench that is 2 1/2 feet deep and 8 feet long.  Ground clamps hold the ground conductor and the grounding rod together without losing conductivity when exposed to weather and movement.   [[Image:6awgwriteforearthground.png]] Grounding rods are driven into the earth to a depth of at least 8 feet.  If rock is hit at less than 8 feet, the grounding rod can be driven at an angle but the angle cannot exceed 45 degrees.  A grounding rod can also be buried on top of rock in a trench that is 2 1/2 feet deep and 8 feet long.  Ground clamps hold the ground conductor and the grounding rod together without losing conductivity when exposed to weather and movement.  When the resistance of a single ground rod exceeds 25 ohms, an additional ground rod installed not less than 6 feet away is required.
