Grounding Conductors #16

[Jimmy7]

A while back we changed a service in an old house. The house had a bunch of cloth covered cable where the hot an neutral were #14 and the grounding conductor was #16. With everything going on we didn’t realize that the ground bar was only good for #14 through #4. Would you go back and splice #14 bare to the #16 grounds, or would you leave it alone?

I would leave it alone but I'm not saying that is the right thing to do.

You could splice a bunch of them together and pigtail a #14 to the EGC bus.
