My coax entrance panel is now hooked to its own series of ground rods. I want
to bond it and all of the Polyphaser arrestors attached to it to the utility
ground rod. If the easiest and shortest path to the utility's entrance ground
rod is thru the interior basement of the home, can I, or should I use it? I
have a large gauge stranded ground cable running from my well pump to the
service entrance ground rod and is very easy to hook to. It runs across the
the sill of the basement wall within several feet of the entrance panel, into
the garage where it eventually ties directly to the ground rod. The alternative
would be to run an outside wire around my house, across a double wide driveway
and then into my garage to get to the utility ground. Would it be safe, (or
code) to use this interior ground wire as part of my lightning protection
system?
