ungrounded 2400 volt feeders - ECN Electrical Forums

2400 volt ungrounded customer owned feeder from OCP .
Run underground in PVC

, Equipment ground required ?? Shield as ground ???

2017 NEC Part X.
I'd prefer EGC. But I think Shield allowed in some cases.
Code section with answer Please.

If EGC required sized by 250.122.

You would need to run an actual ground conductor.
The shield won't do the job.
Yes; size it per 250.122.

Although technically the NEC doesn't mandate that you ground the 2400V system; I have always run a ground conductor...even if later someone tells me to not connect it.

250.4(B) talks about grounding equipment on ungrounded systems. Although it does not specifically reference 250.122 it is implied as a good guideline with these words
