Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input Many members of Code panel 5 know the history on how the use of the terms ground, grounded, grounding, bond, bonding, and bonded were revised, starting in 2008 Code cycle, to have the terms mean what was intended. The one ‘leflover’ item was the equipment grounding conductor. ‘The effective ground-fault current path is comprised of the main bonding jumper, equipment bonding jumper, system bonding jumper, supply side bonding jumper, and the equipment grounding conductor. All of the items that construct the EGFCP containg the word bonding, except one. By renaming the EGC to the EBC, the Code terms used will be consistent and remove confusion, itjust makes the Code intent clearer, Submitter Information Verification ‘Submitter Full Name: Mike Holt Organizatior Mike Holt Enterprises Inc Street Address: City: State Tue Aug 01 13:46:29 EDT 2017 ‘Copyright Assignment |, Mike Hott, hereby revocably grant and assign tothe National Fire Protection Assocation (NFPA) allan full rights in ‘opyright inthis Puble Input (ineluaing both tne Proposed Change and the Statement of Problem ano Substantation). 1 Understand and intend that | acquire no ght, including rights as ajint author, in any publication ofthe NFPA in which this Public Input inthis or another similar or dervatve form is used. | hereby warrant hat lam the author of his Publi Input ‘and that | have full power and authority to enter int this copyright assigns © By checking ths box | frm that Lam Mike Hot, and | agree tobe legally bound by the above Copyright Assignment ‘andthe terms and conditions contained therein understand and intend that, by enecxing tis box, lam creating an tronic signature that wil, upon my submission of ths frm, have the same legal force and eflect as a handwtlen signature hitpsubmitals nfpa.orgTerraViewWeb ViewerPage jsp7id=70-2017 ctamapSdrat-tuesloe=false
