Re: Site Ltg Non-upsized equipment ground

Hello all

I am doing this because I think it is the right thing to do,and instead of just sweeping it under the rug and acting like it didn't happen.

I falsely accused the Moderators of this forum of removing my post, but they did not I had it mixed up with another thread.

Again I aplogize to all involved.

Ronald :)

Ronald I have lost a few myself :eek: But I think it was because I posted in a thread that was double posted and the one I posted to went off the radar screen. Now I have a icon to my post that will take me to all of my post and one that takes me to most recent posts.

That sounds reasonable. But then why do we even need a larger EGC for a 100A breaker? It has to be because we have larger phase conductors for a 100A circuit. So I really should have said "A number 10 is good for phase conductors up to a #6".

I think the real issue here is that the NEC wants the EGC sized based on the size of the phase conductors. So why don't they just get rid of table 250-122, and replace it with a table that relates the EGC size to the phase conductor size?

Caution must be observed in increasing the circuit Overcurrent device from 20 amperes to 40amps where the lampholders at the pole lighting fixture are not of the heavy-duty type. See section 210.23(C).

Does this section apply even if there were inline fuses at the base of each pole that protected the luminaire at 15 amps or less?
