Is it proper to connect a GEC for a service at more than one location?
I see this all the time on residential services- two supplemental ground rods bonded together and tied to the meter can outside of the house and then a run from the panelboard inside to the water main. Shouldn’t the electrodes be bonded together and then tied to either the service disconnect at the panelboard inside or outside at the meter can? I thought tying GEC’s at two separate locations was a code violation?
