GROUND ROD INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Length: When installed vertically, the ground rod must be driven at least eight feet (2.45 m) deep into the soil, meaning the length of the rod extending below the ground surface should not be shorter than eight feet from the surface. This ensures that the rod is in contact with moist soil, which has lower resistance than dry soil. Grounding rod sizing regulations necessitate that the standard length for residential use is usually 8 feet, while for commercial or industrial applications or in areas with high soil resistivity, longer rods may be required for effective grounding.
Diameter: Common diameters for ground rods range from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch (15 - 23 cm). Larger diameters have a lower resistance to earth but are more expensive and more difficult to drive into the ground.

THE ROLE OF A GROUND ROD IN A GROUNDING SYSTEM
* PROTECTION IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
In electrical wiring, ground rods are used to establish a grounding system. The rod is driven into the ground and connected to the grounding conductor of an electrical circuit or the ground terminal of electrical equipment. This helps to safely dissipate electrical faults, lightning strikes, and static electricity into the Earth, preventing electrical shock hazards and equipment damage.
* LIGHTNING PROTECTION
Ground rods are a key component of lightning protection systems. Lightning rods and conductors are connected to ground rods to provide a path for lightning strikes to safely dissipate into the ground, reducing the risk of fire or structural damage.
* TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Ground rods are used in telecommunications systems to provide a common ground reference for various equipment and protect against voltage surges and electromagnetic interference.
