We added a piece of equipment (about 40 ft by 40 feet by 60 feet tall) containing 480 VAC industrial blowers, electrical control panels that house PLCs and computers and sit outside and 80 feet from our main manufacturing building. The question is how do we ground this piece of outside equipment. Our industrial engineer had instructed electrical contractors to drive about 5 grounding rods into the ground but they are not bonded under the outside concrete pad. There are 5 grounding wires sticking above the concrete pad. He will be instructing the contractor to cut the 5 grounding wires( i.e not intend to use the outside grounding rods). Instead they decided to run a bonding ground wire from the outside equipment structural steel to the existing main manufacturing building ground grid.
