Installing Ground Rods isn’t as Easy as it Looks #hendythesparky #electrician #tips
What happens here
Select a location for the second ground rod that is at least 6 feet away from the first one. Position the ground rod and use the hammer drill with the ground rod bit to drive it into the ground until it is fully embedded, similar to the first rod. Again, ensure proper ear protection is worn during this process.
Goal: Install the second ground rod at the required distance.
