Services & DistributionQuestion 58 of 521
Where service-entrance conductors are run in parallel in separate raceways, how is the supply-side bonding jumper sized in each raceway?
a.Sized per Table 250.102(C)(1) based on the largest ungrounded conductor in that raceway
b.One 6 AWG total for the whole service
c.Same as the neutral in all cases
d.Not required for parallel runs
Explanation
Per 250.102(C)(2), when raceways are in parallel the supply-side bonding jumper in each raceway is sized from Table 250.102(C)(1) using the largest ungrounded conductor in that raceway. A single 6 AWG, matching the neutral, or omitting the jumper are all incorrect.
