Question: There is a note on the drawing that says to run this from the ground bar to the ground rod outside the building. It does not mention conduit anywhere but this can't be run bare outside. What should this be run in? PVC?? THanks.
Yes, if the wire is run outside, it must be in conduit. PVC conduit is the most common type of conduit used for this purpose. It is inexpensive, easy to install, and provides good protection for the wire. The conduit should be buried at least 18 inches deep to protect it from damage. Flag for review
