ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Neutral required?

Perhaps we agree and just have a terminology issue.

Maybe the open question is whether this is a white wire or a bare wire.

I really might be coming over to your side.

250.30 calls this a neutral

I think I was wrong (they may make me turn in my internet arguing license)


This is from the handbook



Does this look like you?

Yep thats it. But I do feel the Code does not Address this as clearly as it should. Maybe I'm wrong????

I think the principle that the grounded conductor shall be brought to the first disconnect is consistent. It does not need to go beyond there tho, if you have no neutral loads and that was where I was going.

Thanks Guys for your imput! It always helps to get an opinion on what I"m working on. !

Yoopersup:

Glad to be of assistance!
