I'm sure that this has been discussed before but here's the situation:
400 amp feeder with a #3 EGC
Four sets of #3 tap conductors feeding (4)-100 amp fused disconnects
EGC tapped to disconnect switches based on 250.122-100 amps are #8
I say the EGC tap conductors should be #3 also since the feeder has an OCPD set at 400 amps? A fellow electrician disagrees. I cited 250.122(G). Opinions?
