In the last few weeks I have run into two licensed electricians and a so called engineer (I pretty sure he's lying) that think parallel paths and loops are a problem in EGC's.
I tried to explain to the self proclaimed engineer that multiple paths for fault clearing is not a problem and in fact desired, I pointed out that he is confusing this with current loops due to multiple bonding of the neutral and at that point, the proverbial "deer in the headlight look" appeared.
I know we discuss this a lot here on the forum but, that should not be necessary for people with some basic theory and understanding of fault clearing paths.
We have second year apprentices that understand this so go figure.
Okay, I admit I was just venting.
