Hi Stan,

I have had great success with a 15kv 120ma nst using the following setup for
grounding:

Connect the bottom of the secondary, the nst case, the strike rail, and the
nst safety gap to a dedicated ground rod.  You can connect all of these
together where convenient and just run one wire to the ground rod.

The house ground I DO NOT use.  I just run a hot and neutral from the house
to the NST.

Good luck,

Trent

| With regard to grounding, I plan to connect all of the ground leads

three-prong
