Jim T This conduit is the secondary of the transformer extending 10ft. up the pole from the underground service lateral. Many electricians are driving a ground rod and think that they have a effective return path I am an inspector and require them to bond to the utility neutral. I do not have much knowledge with high voltage that is why I am asking if this method will trip the primary cut outs. I know that a ground rod won't do it.My concern is how do we prevent touch voltage if the conduit becomes energized?
