#4 bare wire

[Electroman214]

I have a question is #4 solid bare wire require to be covered by a metal conduit or plastic conduit for it to be compliant to Code? I had an inspector call me out and said I needed to get the bare wire covered.

What was this #4 conductor for a GEC?

Welcome to the Forum.

If used as a GEC, look at 250.64.
Unfortunately, an inspector may have his/her own interpretation of "Physical Damage"
Good luck!
