Install the ground electrode to a depth indicated in Table 1. Depending on the moisture content of the soil, you can adjust the depth. For example, if the soil is very dry, install the ground electrode deeper.
| Ground Electrode Type | Installation Depth |
|---|---|
| Ground rod | 3 m (10 ft) |
| Horizontal ground electrode | 0.6 m (2 ft) |
| CAUTION Electrical safety grounding requires that the ground electrode is located below the frost level. |
