OK, the EGC is called out as a # 6 stranded on the approved plans. Boss said forget it, just run the EMT to the six panels in question. Inspector failed the inspection because plans specifically called out the size and type of EGC to be used. Boss started spitting bricks, questioning the inspector's ancestory and lack of "common sense". Inspector smiles, says when you get it corrected, call it back in.
After boss's blood pressure returns to above normal (usual for him), I suggest we contact the engineer and have him write a letter stating it is OK to use the EMT as the EGC. Boss says get back to work, so I return to my duties, wondering why I ever chose this line of work......
