I need some help......
I know this is a tractor forum, but im sure most of you guys have some insight on this topic as well..plus this is the most knowledgeable forum im on. So.....
I failed my electrical rough in today and have a few questions.......
1. I was told my #4 copper wire that is attached to my rebar has to run to my service neutral unbroken. I assume the ground rod should be tied into this some where.... what happened.....i originally installed my copper bonding wire to a ground rod on the south wall. Power company moved my panel to the east wall after concrete was poured. I installed a new ground rod under new panel and ran a wire between the new and old grounding rods. this did not pass. I was told to either bust concrete and install new bond on rebar or cadweld a splice. I was looking at the one shot cad welds,.......could i cad weld the first wire from the slab to the first rod, and also cad weld the connecting wire between the 2 rods, and the wire to the box? basically if i cad weld everything i should be good right?
2. Im using metal boxes.... i was told i need a bonding jumper.....what is this?
3. I was told i needed gfci outlet on the first receptacle on each circuit or gfci breakers.....WHY? the gfci isnt wired any different that i see?
I am working on this myself, but my dad was an electrician and is helping as well as a few friends that are/were electricians. Just trying to grasp whats going on here.
Thanks
