An overhead triplex cable (a cable with two insulated and one bare with messenger aluminum conductors) strung from pole to pole in a parking lot is fed from a panel in a guard shack and supplies a receptacle in an enclosure for monitoring a turnstile entrance/exit to the lot. (The other phase conductor is capped and may be used at a later date.)
Is it code compliant to use the bare conductor as the neutral to this receptacle, bonding this neutral to the metal enclosure which is mounted on the wood pole and to a driven rod at the pole?
There is a data cable also strung to the pole with its own green ground wire fastened to a terminal on a board within the enclosure but isolated from it.
I refer to 250.32 (B) (2).
Thanks
