Equipment Ground

[Tejas]

is it required to run a equipment ground conductor by code in a motor space heater circuit which is fed from a MCC, SUS or SWG where the motor, MCC,SUS or SWG are grounded to the building. in this case, let say MCC is located in one building and motor in the other bldg.

Thanks

Re: Equipment Ground

you always have to run an egc with the branch circuit conductors. it does not matter what type of load is served.

there are egc options. but what you are proposing is not one of the allowed options.
