There's a tight dirt crawl space under the place which I'm not about to even try to wiggle and squirm through to find the power wiring ground connection. If there is a ground it's the 3/4" copper water supply line from the street which pops up somewhere in the crawl space per normal practice in days of yore around here. I know for a fact that it's an old ~80' 100% copper line, not plastic. On the other hand the service entrance panel box is quite accessible. Would it be OK if I connected my ham grounding system to the neutral/ground bus in the panel box instead of to the water line?? -- w3rv It is not necessary to bring your bonding conductor to the inside of the panel cabinet. Bonding it to the cabinet itself is sufficient. I would have thought that would'nt be kosher. Good info If any portion of the Grounding Electrode Conductor is accessible then that is the best place to connect your inter electrode bonding conductor. Roger that. Thanks Dave. -- Tom Horne "This alternating current stuff is just a fad. It is much too dangerous for general use." Thomas Alva Edison Many yeards ago I read an article which stated that back in World War One days President Wilson convened an advisory council composed of a number of prominent Americans from different fields. Edison was a member. Somebody suggested that Einstein would make a good addition to the group. Edison's comment was something like "Somebody like Einstein might be handy to have around in case somethimg needs to be figured out." w3rv |
