Concern: Medium voltage rural electric distribution line anchor corrosion control. If we have a wood pole with guy wire connected to the multi-grounded neutral and we want to minimize corrosion at the galvanized anchor, would it make any difference if a ground rod was connected at the same pole as the guy & anchor, or would it be better to have the closest ground rod at the next pole about 200 feet away? The grounds on this system average not less than 4 per mile of line & are copper-clad, & guy insulators are not allowed by RUS. Assume homogeneous soil. Thanks.
