Using a copper water pipe in place of a ground rod?

This topic has aroused my curiosity. As a grounding device, why would a solid rod be better than a hollow pipe, except for the current carrying capability? Good afternoon, Walt. The thing is, the current carrying capability for transient events like lightning strikes should be about the same for the same diameter pipe or rod, since most of the current is carried in skin effect anyway. |
