Built a metal building, with office inside with metal studs. No wood anywhere. Bldg & studs are grounded. Each receptacle has its own grounding lead. Our code enforcement inspector says each junction box must also have a grounding lug. Further, any rigid metal conduit with more than 3 load carrying conductors, conductors must be derated. So, if a 2" conduit has 4 conductors, the wire must be oversized. I'd appreciate comments.
Pete, 250-148(a) requires the EGC to be connected to the box. Table 310-15(b)(2)(a) requires derating of conductors for more than 3 current carrying conductors. Remember that is you are using THHN you can use the 90°C ampacity for derating purposes. Don(resqcapt19)
Don's reply is right on the money. With THHN insulation in a dry location, you usually don't have a derating problem (at least in the smaller sizes) until you get to the 10th conductor.

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