Keeping up with the requirements of the Code should be the goal of
everyone involved in electrical safety. The following is what I feel is an
important rule in the 2020 NEC®, complete with
graphics and a video. I encourage you to use it as a training resource for
your organization, and share it with your colleagues.
| Auxiliary Grounding Electrode [250.54] |

Auxiliary grounding electrodes are not required to comply with any of the Code requirements related to grounding electrodes. There are many reasons why installing an auxiliary grounding electrode can be a really bad idea. For example, auxiliary grounding electrodes can cause damage to electronic equipment by providing a path for lightning to travel through the electronic equipment.
Take the time to read the attached text and watch the video where Mike and the team discuss what you need to know about Auxiliary Grounding Electrodes—NEC 250.54. Download the PDF to follow along with the video.
