Question:
Hello Charlie, is there a maximum distance that ground rod(s) can be located away from a residential electrical service? The rods are located 28ft away from the service on the opposite side of the house in a planter near the water service. The Inspector is saying the rod(s) must be installed within 6ft of the service max?
Thanks for your input, John L.

Answer:
Hi John, thank you for participating in the CQD. The
NEC® does not specify a minimum or maximum distance that rod tope electrodes must be from the electrical service.
