a question was asked of me at lunch, and i knew where to find the answer....
in a commercial occupancy, with an emt raceway feeding a motor, is it legal
to place a ground wire OUTSIDE the raceway? the motor in question is being
fed by a VFD, and the person doing the work want's to know if it is permissable
under the code to do something like this....
i'm saying yes, based on past practices. it used to be common for sealtite
to have a bond wire wrapped on the outside of the sealtite, depending on
the voltage, and the size of the sealtite.
so, it's been done, in the past. is is still legal to do it?
thanks for any feedback....
