[AT] grounds

[Mogrits]

This is all anecdotal but nevertheless:

I have a 10kw briggs powered generator with a grounding lug on the generator
housing. When I use the genset to power the house I connect the houseground
to the generator by a copper wire I leave connected and coiled up just below
the house service.

When I built my shop a few hundred feet from the house and wanted to power
it from the house service instead of a separate meter I asked my electrical
engineer friend about installing a ground rod and he advised me to NOT
separately ground the building. He says the ground should come from the same
source as the power, so I ran four-wire mobilehome service cable up to the
shop.
