[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1069469, member: 369937"] If only a 2 prong then an electrician would be needed to run a proper Earth ground for this system. I would not just run a wire over to one of the AC electrical boxes, (as I have seen many a times) that may be against local electrical codes. On all my system installs like this I use a ground rod as close to the equipment cabinet or room as possible, then run a #10 or #12 copper wire to the equipment needing the Earth bond, in some places with a ground level concrete floor (without a basement below) I just drill through the concrete and drive in a ground rod, then seal the hole with epoxy. It all depends on the local codes, some require that the system be bonded to the household Earth ground at the AC mains entrance, this may be a big job as the AC main electrical box may be at the far end of the building. In this case I would contact a local electrician and have him do the job, that way there would be no insurance problems if something goes wrong later. [/QUOTE]
