It may be petty to some, but this is to settle a debate. I found some work that was done about 4 years ago where someone ran some flex to a transformer/power distribution unit and had to use reducing washers to connect to it. this was 2" flex, its 480 volts supply, 3 phase, 3 hots and 1 ground size of wire is 3/0.
I tell the guys a 'grounding bushing is required' because of the reducing washers and the size wire 3/0 NEC 2008 300.4(G) and 250.97.
But after 250.97 closely again, I'm not sure if the 'wording' is there to require the bonding/bushing. I can only see where I win on a bushing needed but not the bonding of it. 250.97 sends you to 250.92 (B) except for (B)(1).
Am I reading this right??
So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
