Re: branch circuit grounds
it is not unheard of for something like this to be a contract requirement. I have put it in specs to avoid the "conduit is ground" story after the fact. I want a green wire run with the circuit.
it's not a nec requirement though.
and I can't imagine why anyone would require multiple green wires in a conduit.

Re: branch circuit grounds
Doesn't it seem strange that an inspector would try to enforce job specs. It also seems strange that an electrician's apprentice would be the one to deal with the local inspector without a journeyman or master to consult if there were problems on the job. I know that some companies let some of their less experienced employees run small jobs to gain experience, but they all have masters and journeymen to consult when a problem arises. I would think that the first person to get an opinion from would be a more experienced electrician that works for the company because they will have more information about the job than anyone on a forum.
