Ground Conductor Wire Size
You can use single or multiple service
entrance conductor(s) to find the
grounding electrode conductor for AC
systems. When using multiple conduc-
tors, the
ElectriCalc LT
uses the
equivalent circular mils to find the
grounding electrode conductor (based
on NEC Table 250-66).
Find the grounding electrode conductor
wire size required when 2/0 is the larg-
est 3-phase 75°C copper service-
entrance conductor being used. What is
the equivalent aluminum size? What is
the equivalent circular mils?
