-How the equiment grounding conductor, that is not a current carrying conductor, can contribute to minimize the induction heating of a ferrous metal conduit when installed with other circuit conductors? :

don't know what you are trying to ask.

if all circuit conductors are within metal raceway their fields are equal and opposing and cancel each other therefore no inductive heating ground or no ground.

-In other words: the egc is not a current carrying conductor usually so it has no field to be cancelled, but under a ground fault, the fault current thru the egc produces a magnetic field around it. That's why the egc must run with the other circuit conductors. Is what are you saying ?
