To locate an existing grounding system?
To locate an existing grounding system?
(OP)
Hello all,
I would appreciate any input on this,
I am having talks back and forth with the electrical contractor regarding grounding a newly installed transformer in the electrical room to existing grounding system, that is what the plan calls for. His problem is that he can't locate or find the existing grounding system (inexperienced!). The project is at a college and he wants to shut down the main service switch to access and find the grounding system(if he ever finds it!), the school doesn't want to have a shut down since it is occupied 24/7. Is there an easier way to find the existing grounding system (electrode)?
thank you

I don't think you really want to find the grounding electrodes out in the dirt, do you?

Even a guy with 50 years of ground grid design is still stuck in the same spot without drawings.
Its a pure guess and a bad path to head down.
