Bonding Bushing Required?

I have metal conduit which is for the feeder from a fused disconnect enclosure (less than 250V). The service wire comes in through non-metal.

I have seen different interpretations if locknuts would be sufficient for the feeder side. Which is the correct interpretation?

Its a main disconnect, yes.

What type of raceway? If the metal raceway contains service conductors you need something other than standard locknuts to bond one side of the raceway. Could be a bonding bushing or bonding locknut.

No, the service goes through PVC. Only the feeder leaves the disconnect in metal.

On this flow chart it shows "service conductors inside?" -> then required on at least one end."

I understand the question is for the feeder raceway but a service disconnect would have service conductors. The question then becomes is "inside" the enclosure or the raceway. @infinity do you read this differently?

My response was based on post #7 where the service conductors are only in the PVC. The feeder in the metal raceway would not require anything beyond a standard locknut.
