GEC Protection

[jjdh]

Can the GEC be installed in a conduit with a feeder?

Good question. I don't know of any restrictions against it. If it is a ferrous raceway, you would need to bond each end. 250.64(E).

It would need to remain continous, that could be a problem, and it would end up as a

parallel conductor with the EGC, and who knows what size that is ?

THe GEC would enter the raceway via a panel. The GEC will enter the panel via a pcv cable connector or cord grip connector.

?...Ferrous metal enclosures that are not physically continuous from cabinets or equipment to the grounding electrode shall be made electrically continuous by bonding each end of the raceway or enclosure to the GEC??, 250.64(E).

If the application is 100% non-metallic this won?t apply, but any portion that is metallic causes the bonding to be required. I think it's best to stay one or the other.

Yes, this may be common from an UG pull box that also contains the electrode, (250.64)
