I cannot seemed to find it in the code, but was there an exception where the egc was NOT required to be larger than the circuit conductors for motors, or other circuits???
Seeing how the short circuit ground fault device can be larger than the ampacity of the conductors, and normally you would size off of that. For example, 100 amp scgfd with #8 conductors feeding a motor, would you have to go to #6 for the egc, or can you use #8 since the circuit conductors are #8?
