I found some 24 volt devices disconnected in the field where the person twisted the neutral and the egc wires together and put a wire nut on them and wire nut on the power conductor. This 24v wiring is controlled by automation system or plc .
I spoke to the maintenance guy and told him these two wires should not be connected together out in the field only in a service panel. His reply was it is only 24 volts and can't be the cause of his controllers and plc problems.
After talking to him about this i called my chief and he is to look into it farther.
Did i tell the maintenance guy the right information ?
 
Why is there an egc on 24 volts? Are you talking about the feed to the transformer or are you talking the 24V line has an egc?
 
As Dennis stated the 24 v system should not have an EGC or a neutral for that matter.
