Ground Wire Size Chart
Ground Wire Size Chart - Looking for assistance on ground rod wire sizing. Hope somebody can answer a few questions. The meter is grounded with 2 ground rods and the subpanel is grounded to the rebar in the footers per code in my area. Is the grounding conductor for a service sized in accordance with nec table 250.66 using ufer method? The question is about the appropriate sizing of these bars, rods, and wires. A wire runs from this bar to a long copper rod which is physically pounded into the dirt (aka 'ground'). I've never used concrete encased (ufer) grouding.
Assuming you have a 400amp ocpd. Is the grounding conductor for a service sized in accordance with nec table 250.66 using ufer method? Looking at table 250.66 it seems that i can size the ground conductor as small as #6 copper. From nec 250.122 this requires an #8 cu or #6 al ground wire as a minimum (or 6cu and 4 al if you are really running a 110amp feeder).
3/0 copper is 200amp wire. The print specifies that the lightning ground wire be run inside the building through emt and that the emt should be spaced 6ft from any other wiring or metal structure. Does length of run effect the ground wire size? Looking for assistance on ground rod wire sizing. Is the grounding conductor for a service sized in accordance with nec table 250.66 using ufer method? Smallest size permitted in any case is 1/0 i believe.

3/0 copper is 200amp wire. I am connecting a lightning ground rod to a cross ontop of a church. The conductors for the secondary side of the transformer are sized as 1/0 copper. Breakers also have a magnetic trip mode that instantly trips at around 10x breaker rating.
The Transformer Needs To Be Grounded But I Was Unsure About The Size Of The Grounding Conductor.
Hope somebody can answer a few questions. And as you can guess, that's trouble. Smallest size permitted in any case is 1/0 i believe. Assuming you have a 400amp ocpd.
The Table For Sizing The Conductors Accounts For The Length Of Run, But Nec 250.122 For Sizing Ground Wires Doesn't Say Anything About Length Of Run.
The print specifies that the lightning ground wire be run inside the building through emt and that the emt should be spaced 6ft from any other wiring or metal structure. It just shows number 8 (cu). The meter is grounded with 2 ground rods and the subpanel is grounded to the rebar in the footers per code in my area. A wire runs from this bar to a long copper rod which is physically pounded into the dirt (aka 'ground').
Breakers Also Have A Magnetic Trip Mode That Instantly Trips At Around 10X Breaker Rating.
I've never used concrete encased (ufer) grouding. All you need to do is have equal to or greater than givin ampacity of your calculated load or ocpd which ever it is in this case. Yes you can use #4 al as your ground. It also says that the ground wire be #1awg.
