Re: EGC and GEC
Basicaly,The Grounding Electrode Conductor between the Grounding Electrode and the Grounded System Conductor is required to be installed as a single conductor without joints and connections in the GEC between the Grounding Electrode and the termination at the Service.
An exception allows two seperate conductors, one from the Grounding Electrode, one from the Service termination, to be joined by "irreversible", "one-time only", connection methods.A split-bolt , "removable-type" connector for a joint in the "middle" of the GEC between the two "end-connections" would justify a "Red tag".---- Art 250.64 (C).
Art 250.8 specificly allows " listed pressure connectors, listed clamps, or other listed means" To cite Art 250.8 as prohibiting a "reversible" connection that joins two seperate conductors to form one GEC
is to cite the wrong Article.
250.8 would allow Bonding the Feeder Equiptment Grounding Conductor to the Grounding Electrode Conductor with a " listed pressure connector"
I suggest first passing the EGC thru a lug which is Bonded to the metallic surface of the enclosure before making the connection to the GEC.
