I realize the grounding electrode conductor is sized to table 250 66. My foreman continually buys bare number 4 and we run about 225 feet of it for grounding meter stacks. I have worked at some companies that also run number 2 aluminum stranded for two hundred amp panels in houses. I want to get him to buy stranded number 4 rather than solid can anyone point me to a code article that specifically permits stranded wire for the ufer ground it's much easier to pull than bare. Thanks
I've also known as a lot of people misinterpret 250 53 A 3 and believe that the wire to the ufer must always be number four well when sizing is to the service entrance conductors a smaller wire is permitted I don't think a lot of people realize no smaller than number 4 refers to a bare piece of ground encased in concrete.
