EQuIPmENT GROuNDING COuNDuCTOR WIRE SIZE
The
keystroke can be used to nd the Grounding
conductor size for raceways and “over-current devices in circuit
ahead” equipment. The calculator assumes the displayed value as
Amperage to solve for the Equipment Grounding conductor based
on NEC Table 250.122.
Find the Equipment Grounding conductor size required when the
circuit breaker is rated at 45 Amps. What is the equivalent
Aluminum size?
