Bonding bushing

[chris kennedy]

Is there a reason that you use insulated as opposed to a bare conductor?

Had it at the shop in the recycled wire rack.

Why are there two GEC?

One comes from a 600A MDP and the other is a jumper to 2nd rod.

Is that schedule 80 conduit?

40.

What is the green bonding jumper for?

Goes to phone board.

And I see an armored cable, what's that for?

Temp for construction.

I assume you guys have to use copper because of the salt down there?

Two 10'×¾" Cu rods is pretty much a boiler-plate spec on commercial jobs around here.

PVC wasn't allowed outdoors there because of the sun. I installed a temp. pole with a pvc riser and I had to change it to galvinized.

No PVC outdoors??? Tell me that a local amendment.

Well it was 25 years ago for the temp. pole so I assume that it was for anything. They said the sun at the beach was so intense the pvc would not last. This was in Pawley's Island, SC. The house I did was beachfront so not sure if that had anything to do with it. It was the Power company that made me change it.

It is amazing how long I installed green tape on the insulated GEC wire not knowing it is not required. My guys still tape it for some reason. Old habits

A co-worker viewed the picture and wondered why there was no green tape.

Because you get your green tape for free???
