Brain freeze here: Can the tap rules apply to the ground wire too? I think not, but I wanted to verify.
Say for example, I have a 1600 amp breaker feeding a bus. I'm going to tap the bus and run (2) sets of 350KCM wire to a 600 amp breaker (25' tap rule). Does the ground wire ran with the tap need sized for the 1600 amp breaker? If so it would be (2) 4/0 wires. Does that sound right? Or can it be (2) #1's?
