clamps on ground rod.

[reyamkram]

How many clamps are allowed on a ground Rod??
per-250.70 (2011) you are allowed one per ground rod, I have one with 3, and
the company would like to install another one on the same rod, should I just drive another ground rod into the ground?? see picture.
any and all information, Thank you.

Wouldn’t an intersystem bonding connector work better?

You're allowed as many as you can fit.

Just make sure there is at least 8’ of the rod buried. Drive another six or more feet away, and bond the two.

What is the other clamp for?

250.70 does not say only one clamp on a ground rod. It says one grounding electrode conductor per clamp, unless the clamp is listed for more than one conductor.

I found this thing, not sure if its code in your area, I've never used one.

Thank you very munch for correcting me.

Why do you need to add another clamp? I see three conductors, but 4 clamps.

The Master I apprenticed under would have had a field day with me if I had terminated the wire type GEC's pointed up like in the picture instead of down towards the earth.... just sayin.

Why not run one wire from ground rod and mount a ground plate on the wall
