GEC to gd rods

Re: GEC to gd rods

By grandpapastu:

To break the GEC at the first rod and then bond the first rod to the second rod with an additional segment of wire would neccesarily require the 1. Resistance of the electrode (2nd rod) and connections to it to depend on an additional mechanical connection and added contact resistance.

The small amount resistance of a connection to an electrode is negligible when compared to the resistance of the electrode to the earth.
