Concrete-Encased Electrode

Concrete-Encased Electrode

New postby aaronm on Wed Aug 24, 2011 10:14 am

Does the NEC require that access be provided to the connection of the grounding electrode conductor to the concrete-encased electrode (UFER)? If so, where is this stated?

Thanks,

Aaron

The answer is both 'yes' and 'no'.

If the connection is encased in concrete, then, 'no' applies.

If they make the connection in the wall and it is not encased in concrete, then, 'yes' applies.
