Using a copper water pipe in place of a ground rod?
"Walter Maxwell" wrote in message ... 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? Walt, W2DU I doubt that there would be any real differance to start with. The pipes are thin enough they would be hard to drive in the ground and after a while they would rust out sooner. |
