250.32(A) Exception: A grounding electrode shall not be required where only a single branch circuit supplies the building or structure and the branch circuit includes an equipment grounding conductor for grounding the non-current-carrying parts of equipment. For the porpose of this section, a multiwire branch circuit shall be considered as a single branch circuit.
Question: Can that excepted branch circuit feed a panel, or is a grounded rod always required when a panel is installed? Article 210.2 specifically lists branch circuits feeding panelboards, so does a panelboard feeder count as a branch circuit?
