While we are on the grounding subject I have been wanting to post something . Copper theft is so bad in some areas that I started putting the # 4 GEC in a piece of 1/2 EMT from where it leaves the bottom of the disconnect down to the ground. IT seems to help if they dont see the new shinny copper when they walk by . Well I got flagged for that and the AHJ said I was parallelling the ground, that I had to take the emt off or use pvc. It cost me a 37 mile trip to do as he asked. I see in 250.64 B where EMT is allowed to protect the GEC from physical damage . When I get some replies I am tempted to send the city a bill for the service call.
