Re: Separate grounding system
As far as I know, 250.50 strictly prohibits seperate grounding systems.

Re: Separate grounding system
250.54
Let me edit this for clarity. You still need an effective ground fault current path for the equipment, as per 250.4(A)(5). What I am trying to say is that you could drive ground rods near your equipment and tie to them, but whether you like it or not, you would still be ultimatley tied into the service grounding electrode system through the equipment grounding conductor.

Re: Separate grounding system
You may also be thinking of 250.146(D). In some instances, some will install this conductor all the way back to the service through some panels, without bonding to the enclosures of those panels. This is permitted, as long as you still have a system equipment grounding conductor installed.
