In some areas (like Des Moines, Iowa) Ufer grounds are required for all residential and commercial buildings. [5] The conductivity of the soil usually determines if Ufer grounds are required in any particular area. An Ufer ground of specified minimum dimensions is recognized by the U.S. National Electrical Code as a grounding electrode. [6]
A grounding electrode conductor (GEC) is used to connect the system grounded ("neutral") conductor, or the equipment to a grounding electrode, or a point on the grounding electrode system. This is called "system grounding" and most electrical systems are required to be grounded.
The electrodes for electrical grounding are often called ground rods and are often made from steel with a copper clad surface – typically 1 to 2 m long and 20 millimetres (0.79 in) in diameter. These are driven vertically into the ground and bonded together with bare copper wire . [ 1 ]
An earthing system (UK and IEC) or grounding system (US) connects specific parts of an electric power system with the ground, typically the equipment's conductive surface, for safety and functional purposes. [1] The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the installation.
Stand mixers draw a lot of electricity, and a power strip may not be able to provide the required electrical needs. "A direct connection ensures the mixer operates efficiently and safely," Stewart ...

An isolated ground (IG) (or Functional Earth (FE) in European literature) is a ground connection to a local earth electrode from equipment where the main supply uses a different earthing arrangement, one of the common earthing arrangements used with domestic mains supplies.
Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna introduced a bill to carve President Donald Trump into Mount Rushmore alongside four other presidents.
