Where did you learn how to do this job? I have seen a ground wire connection to the panel box or to the meter base but, I have not seen the ground connected to both which is the best way to do it. Excellent job ! I think the number 4 wire is much better than the number 6 wire because, if you ever get hit by lightening, the number 4 wire can handle the load better and take the lightening hit to the grounding rods.
@@djaztec97 ... the idea of a ground rod is to make contact with the earth. If you are up against the foundation you get less contact. Usually they are placed at least a foot out. If you have footing drains you will want to avoid them as well.... so maybe 2 feet out for the rods.
he kept saying #4 but that looks like #6 wire. Also not sure why he's bonding inside the meter AND the panel. Code says one or the other, depending on where the main breaker is.
Thank you for this demonstration, very helpful!

He needs to know how's ground rod works. If he knew he would not place it that close to the house. Ish. Master Electrician
Can you explain why? I'm curious.
