Brian,

For comparison purposes, I just went out and measured the current flowing through my grounding electrode conductor where it exists the meter can and enters the conduit protecting it where it goes down the wall and into the ground (just enough space between the meter can and the conduit to get my clamp-on ammeter in there) ... I measured 0.00 amps.

Not bad for a "conductor which *is intended* to have no current flowing through it".
