Do they mars ground their systems with marsing rods?
Per NEC rules, TWO ground rods are required no less than 6' apart, and a continous conductor between first disconnecting means and earth.No!! Per NEC, this is wrong!!! Auxiliary ground rod allowed on Mars, but then must extend a wire back to Earth
Waiting on the quote for 250 miles of grounding conductor - but having trouble calculating the wire ga required for this length...and a continous conductor between first disconnecting means and earth.
250million miles... but the hard part is lifting it over the big bright thing every 4 years...Waiting on the quote for 250 miles of grounding conductor - but having trouble calculating the wire ga required for this length...
Marsing conductors wire size is less.250million miles... but the hard part is lifting it over the big bright thing every 4 years...
All earthing conductors max wire size is #4
Yeah, significant lack of groundwater on mars will make resistance FAR above 11ohms...I expect the combination of cold and lack of moisture will create challenges to create a safe path for stray currents to "ground" on Mars. This was actually a real problem when I worked in permafrost areas of the Arctic, the "ground" didn't conduct electricity reliably.
You should see if you can get a grant to study this problem.I expect the combination of cold and lack of moisture will create challenges to create a safe path for stray currents to "ground" on Mars.

it has been studied,You should see if you can get a grant to study this problem.
Dang it Amazon.I think the hardest part would be the delivery of the wire, I am betting the driver would never find the address.
