Here's the scenario:
1) 39 apartment buildings.
2) Fire alarm loop from building to building in a junction box on the outside of each building.
3) 110 volt circuit from building to building in a junction box used to power a bell on the flow switch at each building.
4) Fire alarm cable connected to a surge suppressor in each junction box at each building.
5) No ground attached to the surge suppressor so no protection.
6) Original contractor is long gone.
7) Any ideas on the best method to connect a ground?
8) Would it be acceptable to use the #10 ground in the adjacent 110 volt junction box?
9) There was a ground rod driven below each fire alarm box apparently to be used for the ground but never connected to anything.
Your opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
DEZ
