to form part of the system grounding electrode (ufer ground). Suitable grounding

connectors and cable shall be used to interconnect the steel reinforcing bars. A suitably-

sized grounding conductor shall be run to the main building ground pad.

.5 Make buried connections, and connections to electrodes, using inspectable wrought

copper compression connectors to ANSI/IEEE 837.

.6 Use mechanical connectors for bonding connections to equipment provided with lugs.

.7 Soldered joints not permitted.

.8 A bonding conductor shall be installed along with power conductors in all conduit runs,

regardless of the type of conduit being used.

.9 Install separate bond conductor to outdoor lighting standards.

.10 Make bonding connections in radial configuration only, with connections terminating at

single grounding point. Avoid loop connections.

.11 In addition, all non-current-carrying metal parts of electrical apparatus shall be bonded to

the grounding system.

3.2 Electrodes

.1 Install rod electrodes and make grounding connections.

.2 Bond separate, multiple electrodes together.

3.3 Equipment Bonding

.1 Install bonding connections to typical equipment included in, but not necessarily limited

to following list. Service equipment, transformers, switchgear, duct systems, frames of

motors, motor control centres, starters, control panels, building steel work, generators,

elevators and escalators, distribution panels, outdoor lighting.



.1 Perform ground continuity and resistance tests using method appropriate to site

conditions and to approval of Engineer and local authority having jurisdiction over

installation. Report measured ground resistance to the Engineer and, if required, install

additional ground rods and cables to reduce ground resistance.

.2 Perform tests before energizing electrical system.
