What You'll Need 

Wire strippers, Wire or ground channel ,Copper ground rod ,Blow burn Shovel Water Hammer

Introducing a ground rod will divert flow from any electrical circuit you may have into the ground where it is introduced. This is fundamental for any home to keep a little short out from transforming into an electrical flame. In the occasion your electrical frameworks breakdown, the establishing rod will scatter all the discharged flow far from your home and into the ground. Here's the means by which you can introduce one yourself.

Stage 1 – Solder Wires to the Ground Rod 

Patching can be extremely dubious. The primary thing that you need to do is to strip a copper wire of its protection on the off chance that you are introducing the establishing rod with a gadget like a radio wire. When you are finished with that, basically fold the stripped wire over your ground rod. You may likewise substitute the wire with the ground channel. At that point, begin warming the ground rod and the wire with your propane burn. It's imperative that you don't position the fire straightforwardly onto the wire as that will make it oxidize. When you are finished with that, put the rod aside for something like an hour to cool.

Stage 2 – Install the Ground Rod Vertically 

To spare yourself from burrowing a profound opening to introduce the rod in, you can select to utilize water.

For ground rods introduced vertically, you have to drive them something like eight feet into the ground.

On the off chance that you hit a stone channel before you can pound the rod down each of the eight feet, at that point you can essentially introduce it on a level plane. Scoop out a portion of the earth somewhere around 2 1/2 feet down and sufficiently long to suit the whole establishing rod. Cover it in the opening, enabling the wire to crawl out before you scoop soil over into spot.

 Stage 4 – Grounding the Electrical Circuit 

Since you are finished driving the establishing rod into the earth or covering it, it's the ideal opportunity for you to interface it to the electrical circuit that you need to ground. Turn your electrical switch off and give it a couple of minutes to guarantee you are in no threat of an electric stun. At that point, you just need to interface the copper wire you fastened before to the breaker box and you're done.
