I have one outlet with the three prong configuration with a ground wire leading to the outside to a ground rod. That's because I want my entertainment center electronics grounded. The power company's new substation regularly interrupts the power going to my home. $$$$

The outlet supplying my radio equipment plugs into a three prong outlet I've installed but only uses just the same two wire circuit. I have a makeshift ground wire tying all my radio equipment together and is tapped into the entertainment center's ground which goes to the ground rod outside. The only thing I'm missing is a bonding wire from the ground rod to the service panel's ground rod. I think that would require a 6 gauge wire.

The tower has it's own ground rod which doesn't have a bonding cable either.
