The inspector Electure is talking about made us run ground wires in ALL EMT conduits. I had 7' lengths of EMT running from 4s bracket boxes for switches to a J-Box in the ceiling. All of them needed grounds with bonds to the back of the box. Also, I fully tightened down all set screws and used a hammer and a screw driver on all lock nuts. So it wasn't an issue of a poor install.
I wonder what he is going to say when the 2002 NEC is adopted here in Cali with the new addition explicitly adding EMT as a EGC.
2002 NEC
358.60 Grounding. EMT shall be permitted as an equipment grounding conductor.
