Hello all, new to forum and first post. I read it all the time for personal knowledge and entertainment. Here goes first question:
250.148 says that any circuits that are spliced in a junction box, the associated ground wire needs to be bonded to the junction box. At my job, the contractor has installed a 4' x 4' junction box consisting of 6 sets of parallel feeders, 600 MCM. For whatever reason they did not pull straight through the pull box and elected to make a splice of all conductors. They only took one of the grounds and bonded it to the pull box leaving the other grounds butt spliced and run straight through. I explained that they needed to bring all the grounds together with one bonding to the pull box. They replied that they do not need to do this since it is parallel feeders. Any thoughts?
