Subject: grounding 120v wall outlets
I have 10 foot grounding rods for each wall outlet in the studio. The ground
rods will be installed under the slab before it is poored.They will only be
used for the 120v outlets.I will use these for the equipment groundon the
third grounding insert instead of the bare copper wire going back to the
service panel intrance.In other words I will not be using the third bare
wire of the romex wire and instead go straight to the grounding rods from
each outlet.Is this going to be beneficial in preventing ground loops or is
this type of installation dangerous?One outlet will be used for all
equipment that is connected together,such as where the mixing console is
plugged in.I understand all that type of info on this subject,but I am
getting different opinions on this grounding setup. Is it better to just use
the third bare wire and go back to the main service entrance grounding buss
instead of individually grounding each outlet?
