More needs with grounding [RE-wrenches]

[Jason Fisher]

John knows his code. And on this topic he has written a couple of good
articles that support the concept of bonding the neutral or negative at
separate structures:

Incidentally, Kurt, you could always use this strategy and just remove the
ground wire you installed on the forest floor. I'd recommend not trying to
salvage the rod you drove in the stream however! :)

hI y'All,
Just a quick note on EMF's, there ain't no DC transformers. The
electromagnetic flux, or field is created by a change in current flow.
PV circuits are DC constant current, ie: no EMF.
An AC source, power line, radar, ham radio etc. can induce current into
a DC line, (triggers the GFCI breaker), twisted pairs might help balance
this stray induction.
Everything that can pass electrons, and is not a current carrying
conductor should be grounded. Neutral conductors must be ground bonded
at one point.
John Wiles just points at the NEC grounding book on his table (an inch
thick) and says "look it up"!
