(I did not want to "muddy" that thread)
As I began to post in the above thread I was looking at 250.122. Assume we have a 4000 amp breaker with multiple conduits on the load side feeding a MLO panel.
Table 250.122 shoes a 750AL required for the equipment ground for the 4000 amp feeders and states each raceway must have that size conductor. 250.122(A) states that the EGC need not be larger than the circuit conductor supplying the equipment BUT in the case of parallel can you drop the EGC to the same size as the phase conductor ?
