I have a shop building with a 400 amp 240/120v service. There are 2 200 amp service disconnects on the shop. One feeds the shop, the second will feed a house on the same property. I'm running a 200 amp 4 wire feeder from this second service underground to supply the house about 250 feet away. About halfway between the two buildings I'm going to bring the feeder out of the ground to a mobile home panel mounted to pressure treated posts set in the ground. This panel will have an outlet to power my motor home when it's parked there, some outdoor lighting, and an electric wood splitter.
I don't think the NEC requires a grounding electrode at this remote panel. I will have a grounding electrode system at both buildings. My questions are:
I'm I correct that the remote panel doesn't need a grounding electrode?
Would installing a grounding electrode be beneficial?
Would installing a grounding electrode actually be a bad idea?
Thanks,
