215.6 vs. 250.118

[Greentagger]

Always understood EMT was suitable as an equipment ground. What exactly is 215.6 telling us regarding wire type EGC and conduit used as an EGC? Is that in reference to instances such as in 517.13? Thanks in advance for input.

215.6 does not dictate the type conductor as long as it meets 250.118... EMT is fine (properly installed)
517.13 requires a wire type equipment ground in an approved metal raceway.. redundant grounding.
Neither changes EMT being used as an EGC.

Understood. So does the verbage in 215.6 “the feeder shall include or provide an equipment grounding conductor “ coincide with the verbage in 250.118 “The equipment grounding conductor run with or “ENCLOSING” the circuit conductors…..”? Is the EMT then considered a conductor? Trying to wrap my head around the actual wording. Thanks.

Yes the EMT is conductor.
