Every should know that sec. 680-73 of the NEC says that you need a #8 solid copper wire to bond the motor to the water pipe. My question is would a #6 copper stranded wire be OK? What would be the harm in that? Any thoughts?

I have the feeling that they require solid, because it could oxidize between the strands of stranded. Just my guess.

Harold: The "book" says #8 solid specifically. I know where you are coming from, and perhaps its the "corrosion" thing if it's stranded....but according to sub-code it has to be!

Every one knows what the code reads, but I sometimes wonder what the intent of the code really is? I wish that I could find out the intent of the code is and where to find it.

Nearest I can tell, that solid #8 requirement kicked in during the 71 cycle.
