I had an HVAC contractor friend call and ask if the ground rod driven at the condenser would pass inspection. I said nope. He said his brother in law the city inspector said it was ok. I told him the ground rod would never clear a fault and thats not its purpose anyway. He has a 40 amp / 240V / 2 wire circuit and I told him to run a #10 wire to the cold water pipe that is 10' away from the unit. What code sections can I have for him to show the inspector that will likely fail this.
