JLC Field Guide: Grounding
JLC Field Guide: Grounding The purpose of grounding is safety: A ground wire generates a short circuit and trips the
Bond all conduits entering primary switchgear, main breaker panel, and secondary service entrance switchboard / panelboard with a ground wire connecting the grounding type bushings to the equipment ground bar. Conductors shall be sized per NEC Tables 250. 102. The National Electrical Code® (NEC®) recognizes several types of conductors that are permitted to be used as equipment grounding conductors in Section 250. A conduit body is a removable-cover section of a conduit system that provides access at junctions or termination points. Article 314 applies to: These. 1. 7 Provide conduit grounding bushings, bonded together and connected to the equipment enclosure on all incoming and outgoing cond...
