Well wired.

A guy often wonders just how imporatant that EG is when the steel framed building is welded to the all steel machinery and the motor support is welded to that. We still pull the EG and put at least one ground bushing on the conduit then looping the EG through the lug on the way to the motor. We found that this connection will support the falling weight of a 5hp gear reduction plus the platform it was welded to. Kept it from hitting the concrete 8' below. (Customer's Engineering problem - there was none.)

Do you guys call that a "ground support conductor"?

On a more serious side, take a look at 250.136(A).
