Feeder Sizer

[keitha5807]

As anyone used construction monkey's "Feeder Sizer" there is a selection for either equipment or service, I am wondering if a subpanel would be considered "equipment" or "service" in this program?

Do you have a link to the application?

If the circuit is a feeder, it has OCPD on the line side and the conductor is an EGC.

The program is flawed as you never use "service" grounding sizing for a feeder. That is only used for the actual service or the load side of an separately derived system.

Thanks for the input.

Interestingly, it asks you how many ground wires you have. I wonder what they mean by that.

One possibility, is it applies to conductors in parallel, in separate raceways, where you are required to have an EGC in each one.
