Has anybody else seen damaged insulation on wire from set screw connectors? If those set screws are tightened too much there is a definite point for damaging insulation to the point of having an unwanted ground.
I have never seen that and don't think that it is even possible to cause damage to the conductors in the conduit unless you replace the supplied screw with a longer one. Yes, the screw does put a "dimple" in the conduit when fully tightened, but that will not cause conductor damage.

IMHO either compression or set screw is fine when you PROPERLY SUPPORT YOUR PIPE RUNS!!!!!Most of the problems seem to occur because there is to much pressure on the coupling (racks not level and square to oneanother or to much distance between them)
