How do you splice a ground rod wire?

Answer by  Macca (49)

Use wire of the same grade for the splice. Cut and bare 1 inch of wire. Twist together and mechanically clamp all connections. Test connections and paint with galvanising paint.

Prepare the ground where it will be located by making a man hole. Hammer the rod using a mallet so that it gets pinned firmly and securely to the ground.

Typically, the ground rod is wired to the main electrical panel/box. Be sure that there is a solid connection (ie - metal to metal contact) between the panel and the ground rod. Assuming you have already driven the ground rod into the ground, the hard part is done!
