Swimming Pool Grounding

Why Does The Code Require A Solid As Opposed To Stranded Grounding Conductor?

Probably to avoid corrosion due to capillary action.

But that's just a guess on my part.

Being the cynic that I am, I suspect that the people that make solid wire got to the code panel ahead of the people that make stranded wire.

 

[George Stolz]

Aren't those people one and the same?

Yep... so must be that solid costs more than stranded... :grin:
