I'm about to run equipment grounds to some ungrounded receptacles. I will be doing so as allowed in 250.130(C)(3)

The way I read this, I will have to run an equipment ground back from each receptacle that I want to ground and I would not be allowed to tap off from from any new or existing equipment ground. I have no problem with this as I'll be on the job cost plus, but if there is an exception or other code article that would allow the tapping of an equipment ground, I wouldn't mind avoiding all that attic time.

How say you?

Tom


Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
