This is a goofed up part of the Code.
Agreed?

What's goofed up about it? [Linked Image] [Linked Image]

These 4/0s fed from a 15, 20, or 30 amp breaker need a 4/0 EGC run with them.

Change the breaker to a 100 amp and the EGC run with the 4/0s would only have to be a 1 AWG (actually within 10 cir mils of a 2 AWG)

Why would that make us scratch our head? [Linked Image]

Almost worth while using a 100 amp breaker and placing in-line fuses at each pole base. [Linked Image]
