ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues question on the bare ground wire in romex inside boxes

Was wondering how to avoid the bare grounding
wire of romex cable from possibly shorting to
a hot or neutral terminal on a switch or
outlet? Is it permitted to use electrical
tape to wrap the bare ground wire to keep
it from shorting? How do the pros deal with
this?

Bob, homeowner who would like to get
it right.
