Subject: Are my Ground Rods Correct?


56676
On a big Gallagher charger:

Three 8' deep copper-coated rods spaced 10 feet apart
Heavy (8 gauge?) solid bare copper wire from charger and between rods
Brass clamps with the stainless steel bolt on each rod
Under the eave of a building
Probably acidic soil

Should we switch to an ALL galvanized grounding system? Is 14 ga. wire enough for connecting rods to charger?

Not necessarily having issues, but I've always wondered if we're missing some capacity because of the copper vs. galvanized.

Thank you.
