Re: Surge Protection Residential Whole House

That is what i am thinking. The one common grounding point should not preclude additional ground rods at the other building. Just the one common point is still needed. Plus I always learned in most basic setups you need a ground rod at both ends of a cable outside. Then on top of that a common ground in most setups even if it is just say a continuous cable sheath.

The confusion many people have with grounding is the neutral bond to ground which the code restricts to only one, that aside there is no restriction or prohibition under the NEC which would stop a person from connecting additional earth grounds to the existing ground system as long as those additional grounds are all boned to the “existing and required by code” service ground.
