grounding electrode conductor

[partimer31]

Has anyone ever had to relocate a service panel, maybe just a few feet from
its present location, then only to find that the existing ground electrode
conductor was to short to now reach the service panel at its new location?

My question is how did you resolve this issue?

 

[SiddMartin]

use non-reversible crimp and extend it.

As Sidd said, either crimp or Cadweld an additional piece of conductor to it.

 

[iwire]

Install a ground rod at that location and use two clamps on it as a splice.

 

[art82]

use compression or welding you will be fine

It may not be possible to find a compression connector listed for solid wire, I haven't been able to find one...

Perhaps others, but here's one

That is an interesting thought
