The Electrical Code

215.6 Feeder Equipment Grounding Conductor. So in this article grounding is bought to the forefront. I would give this article a lot of importance because out of all the things that people have failed for this is one of them, and there is special materials that need to be installed if not inspections will not go well. Not to say all is bad, because when you read into this article it is pretty simple, and that is the problem. To start this article say “shall include”, and they are not suggesting they are demanding that a wire of an appropriate size needs to connected to material grounding. This article refers to 250.134 and 250.32(B), these articles are refer to grounding even further.

This is exactly why I started this blog. I will try to the best of my ability to explain all of the article and how they relate to one another. It begins to get complicated when one article refers to another. As I have tried to do here I will correlate all articles that one article refers to another. I hope I did not scare you with all this information, because as with law, medicine, accounting, and so on they all have there own language. So this is true even with the electrical industry. Fortunately the code book explains all and all that needs to be understood is the language. And lucky for you I will try to explain it best I could.

“Where a feeder supplies branch circuits in which equipment grounding conductors are required, the feeder shall include or provide an equipment grounding conductor in accordance with the provisions of 250.134, to which the equipment grounding conductors of the branch circuits shall be connected. Where the feeder supplies a separate building or structure, the requirements of 250.32(B) shall apply.”
