A ground rod is a metal rod driven into the earth outside your house and wired to your electrical panel's grounding system, giving fault current and static charge a safe path into the ground instead of through you or your equipment. In this livestream Q/A, MES covers what a ground rod actually does, why a house needs one, and how to find the one already installed at your own house.
