Morning all, thanks for the vote of confidence Bob.
First of all I think I see some of the misunderstanding.
If we go back to my first post where I said (I actually drifted from Rizers direct question here)
only if the first means of disconnect is mounted on a conductive material common to the Transformer or Grounding Electrode.
my intent here and in my other posts have been that, baring this, (and of course other outside paths) there would be no common conductive path be it intentional or not, think wooden structure, and Bob's reference to Exception 1 to 250.30(A)(1)
With that said, I wholeheartedly agree that if we do identify a parallel path in any form, the wiring method should be modified to eliminate it.
Rizer, in your last question you could treat this the same as the right hand diagram and eliminate the green wire conductor shown. The bonding bushing would only be necessary on one end, with the other bonding jumpers as shown.
Rizer, I also apologize for the added confusion to your question.
Roger
