Ryan Jackson Electrical Training changes ( B) This is one of my favorite changes in the entire NEC Note the new exception Intro The requirements for increasing the size of an equipment grounding conductor were relaxed significantly Size of Equipment Grounding Conductors SupplySide grounded and bonding conductors are sized from Table (1) in the 14 NEC In earlier Codes, all these conductors, as well as the Grounding Electrode Conductor, were selected from Table Table (1) from the 14 NEC It is very helpful to have a separate Table for selecting theNEC 08 Table Minimum Size Equipment Grounding Conductors for Grounding Raceway and Equipment Rating or Setting of Automatic Overcurrent Size (AWG or kcmil) Device in Circuit Ahead of Equipment, Conduit, Aluminum or etc, Not Exceeding Copper Copper‐Clad (Amperes) Aluminum* 15 14 12 12 10 30 10 8 40 10 8 60 10 8 100 8 6 0 6 4

NEC Table , Grounding Conductor Size Table — Grounding Conductor Size Minimum Size Equipment Grounding Conductors for Grounding Raceway and EquipmentPodCast with Paul Abernathy on how to apply Section (F)(1) and (2) with regards to parallel equipment grounding conductors and the changes to the 17 For example, using Table , if the overcurrent protection ahead of a circuit or feeder is 225 amperes, the minimum size equipment grounding conductor is found as follows In Table , follow the first column, which gives the rating of the overcurrent device, down to find the rating that equals or exceeds 225 amperes
Section (B) from the 17 NEC told us whenever ungrounded (hot) circuit conductors are increased in size due to Four or more currentcarrying conductors in a single conduit Ambient temperatures above 86 degrees FahrenheitFor many years, Article 250, which covers grounding and bonding in the National Electrical Code (NEC), only contained two tables Table was used for sizing the equipment grounding conductors, based on the size of the overcurrent protective device in the circuit Table was used for sizing grounding electrode conductors and for sizing the grounded conductor, theThe equipment grounding conductor of the circuit was also to be increased in size, the same proportional amount This code language was too restrictive and unnecessary

Yes, but it is worthy of a more detailed explanation The Code is the minimum set of wiring requirements for safety, meaning one must do at least that much to be compliant The minimum sizing requirements for wiretype EGCs are found in Section Section (B) includes requirements to adjust the size of wiretype EGCs for conditions such as voltage drop EGCs are required to be increased in size to address voltage drop In addition, a proportionate increase of the associated ungrounded circuit conductors is requiredThe National Electrical Code (NEC) Style Manual is prepared under the guidance of the NEC Technical Correlating Committee and is used to advise members of the CodeMaking Panels on the required editorial style and arrangement of the NEC It is intended to be used as a practical working tool to assist in making the NEC as clear,
Article 250 is a foundational pillar of NFPA 70®, National Electrical Code® (NEC®), and the tables within Article 250 are critical resources for sizing the wiring for the grounding and bonding of an electrical system Becoming more familiar with the proper use of these tables can help installers ensure effective grounding and bonding on Thanks to the NEC Connect for sharing Table (1) and Section (A)&(B) Table (1) Grounded Conductor, Main Bonding Jumper, System Bonding Jumper, and SupplySide Bonding Jumper for AlternatingCurrent Systems Click below to receive the free PDF and a supporting video excerpt from the NEC Training To download the Table(F) EGC for Parallel Conductors, Sizing – https//wwwMikeHoltcom/bonding One of the costliest mistakes made in electrical installations is a failur

NEC (B) requires that when I increase my currentcarrying wire size to accommodate long distance voltage drops, that I must also upsize the ground wire proportionally in metal cross sectional area All wires are copper with 90C insulation and 75C terminals Consider 400A of wire for a The purpose statement of the NEC, section 901(A) states, "The purpose of this Code is the practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity" In other words, it all comes back to protecting people and property from the inherent hazards of using electricity This is directly evident when we take a look at the grounding andNEC Table – Minimum size equipment grounding conductors for grounding raceway and equipment Table 2 – Minimum size equipment grounding conductors for grounding raceway and equipment Aluminum Cable Tray Systems Table (A) – Metal area requirements for cable trays used as equipment grounding conductors
(b) Where ungrounded conductors are increased in size from the minimum size that has sufficient ampacity for the intended installation, wiretype equipment grounding conductors, where installed, shall be increased in size proportionately according to the circular mil area of the ungrounded conductorsThe previous 11 code language in (B) required that any time an ungrounded conductor of a circuit was increased in size (for any reason);Install per (A), (B) and (E) Size per Connect per 37 Table 31 (Based on 2500 kcmil SEC ) Grounding Electrode Minimum Size Bonding Jumper NEC Section or Table Water pipe to building steel 2/0 AWG Copper Table Building steel to concrete encased 2 AWG copper* (B) and Concrete encased to ground ring
