Re: Two rods
Mike I think you getting crossed with what happens when two source's of a AC field are brought into the 3/4 wavelength or more Effect in which one starts to cancel out the other. this does not apply to ground rod where the greater the surface of contact of the metal will cause a slight decrease in the resistance. The effect is actually directly opposite of the AC wave theory. The father the rods are apart the better up to a point. Which make's me wonder if this does cause a decrease in the ability for it to safely conduct a lightning strike as lightning has components of AC and would react with the AC effect? H'mmmm
