Spanish is so logical and useful. there are many ways to say things or share ideas in this "round" language. If it were me and I did not know the
exact word....in this case I might say......y necessitamos usar un pieza de metal o cobre para hacer un tierra. Whatever....

Uh, if you are still in Oregon, go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy one, or get a basic book on electrical wiring and it will have a picture or drawing
of a ground rod or simply take a photo of one.

Find a field worker for CFE and he should have their common terminology since they use them.
Whoops....guess you arn't south of the line at the moment.

This site has a lot of info on Spanish building terms with pictures. Unfortunately the electrical and plumbing sections are not complete yet but other
materials and tools are there:
