EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR AT SERVICE

[jclint07]

I KNOW THIS IS AN NEC CODE, BUT CAN NOT FIND IT FOR SOME REASON IN THE BOOK. AT THE MAIN SERVICE DISCONNECT, THE GROUNDED CONDUCTOR HAS TO BE BONDED TO THE FRAME OF ENCLOSURE WITH THE MAIN BONDING JUMPER, BONDED TO THE GROUNDING ELECTRODE CONDUCTOR AND THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR. FROM THAT POINT ON, THE GROUNDED CONDUCTOR AND THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR HAVE TO BE SEPERATE CONDUCTORS. WHICH ARTICLE STATES SUCH AND EXPLAINS THIS BETTER? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Not a problem. I just wasn't sure whether you were frustrated with trying to find the code section or just yelling for someone to give you an answer.
