grounding conductor

Re: grounding conductor

To: Bob Badger, Bob, I would refer to the Article
90, Introduction. Sectiion 90.4 Enforcement.
I realize that this may be stretching this a bit, but I feel that this Section gives the AHJ the authority to make a change for the better in installation.
The subject of a grounding wire to be used along with the conduit, will make a good item for a Code change for 2005.
I have always felt that if the AHJ makes a determination to deviate from the code, and it is a improvement for the installation, then I am all for it.

Regards, Bob Friebel

Bob F,
90.4 does not give any inspector the legal authority to rewrite the code. If the local governmental body that had adopted the code has made a change, that is fine, but the inspector cannot require anything other than what has been adopted.
