200 - Services

210 - Branch-Circuits and Feeders

215 - Outside Branch-Circuit and Feeders

220 - Branch-Circuit, Feeder, and Service Calculations

230 - Overcurrent Protection

240 - Use and Identification of Grounded Conductors

250 - Grounding

255 - Bonding

280 - Surge Arresters

285 - TVSSs

This change provides a more linear arrangement for Chapter 2 Wiring and Protection. A part IV can be added to to Article 210 for feeder requirements. The separation of grounding and bonding will provide clarity that each is a separate fundemental and both serve a separate function.

Re: Chapter 2 Reorganization

I like the logical progression. It complements flow charts in 230 and 430.

Devil's advocate:
If I ground a service using a GEC in a metal conduit, I have to bond the conductor to the conduit under certain conditions. So to properly ground the service I have to go to two different articles.

I see your point about the different functions of grounding and bonding, but they intertwined. I don't if two seperate articles would help or hinder understanding of the req's.
