517.13 Grounding of Receptacles in Patient Care Areas - 08/18/06 06:41 PM
I am working on an Audiologist office, this is new construction. i believe that the patient examination area requires branch circuits to be wired per 517.13. Based on the installation requirements I plan to use Type AC cable that contains an insulated equipment grounding (bonding) conductor, marked as HFC- Health Care Facility Cable.
I'm stuck on the bonding requirements at the panel and the boxes where "hospital grade" receptacles will be installed on branch circuits. Is there a specific requirement for bonding to insure the redundant ground path is maintained? Are there specific cable clamps/connectors to be used with this cable?
Thanks for the help. Mike
