The NEC doesn't use the term "service ground terminal", but does require connection to a grounding electrode at the service equipment, clear as mud?
Does this book hold any weight.............
it says "service ground terminal" which was thrown back at me...............which also meant that it was ok to bring the isolated ground back to the electrode..... :- )
I see it as a book written by Mark Early.... (thing is it has the nec logo and is published by NFPA)
