Grounding

[Mark L]

Hi All
I have a barn and the barn is next to a power pole with a transformer. The transformer is currently feeding the home that is 100' away. I want to install a 200 amp panel on the barn, but there is no water pipes no structural steel or ufer. How should I ground my service?

250.50 Grounding Electrode System. All grounding electrodes
as described in 250.52(A)(1) through (A)(7) that are
present at each building or structure served shall be bonded
together to form the grounding electrode system. Where
none of these grounding electrodes exist, one or more of
the grounding electrodes specified in 250.52(A)(4) through
(A)(8) shall be installed and used.

Exception: Concrete-encased electrodes of existing buildings
or structures shall not be required to be part of the
grounding electrode system where the steel reinforcing bars
or rods are not accessible for use without disturbing the
concrete.

Thanks for finding that. Sometimes I have a real problem finding the answers in the code book.
