NEC Quiz: Article 250, Part Fourteen Answers

by Mark Lamendola

Back to Quiz

  1. This passage actually refers to bonding. The reference is Article 100, which provides the definitions of grounding and bonding. Grounding in this passage makes no sense from a technical standpoint, so the correct word is bonding.
     

  2. [250.114]. Again, we have a word misuse. The equipment must be connected to an "equipment grounding conductor" which is, in actuality, an equipment bonding conductor. There are a few exceptions to this requirement, but generally it applies.
     

  3. [250.118]. No. It doesn't even have to be wire. See the 14 types of EGC in 250.118.
     

  4. [250.122(A)]. Yes. It can't be smaller than shown in Table 250.122, but doesn't need to be larger than the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
     

  5. [250.122(F)]. Yes, if you run the ungrounded conductors in parallel.
