I have a job coming up that includes installation of an automatic standby generator for a residence. The POCO doesn't know how the grounding should be done and when I asked the AHJ when he came for an inspection at another job, he wasn't sure how it should be done.
Does anyone know of any previous topics that would shed light on this. Or of specific code sections that give direction in what is required?
This is a 400A Service going to 2 200A overcurrent protected disconnects on the outside of the building. One disconnect is to feed specially designated circuits that will be backed-up by the generator through an automatic transfer switch. The two disconnects then feed to their loads through two separate panels.
Does the generator require a separate ground rod, and if so does that bonding wire run to the service ground rod too?
