HI;
I just did a pull of 12awg thhn/thxn through indoor 1/2" emt from my main panel to my bar outlets on the second floor. It travels through 3 junction boxes to comply with the no more than 360 degrees of bends rule.
I pulled a hot, neutral and a 12awg ground wire. I pulled the ground as member of this site suggested that I pull a ground, even thought I have the EMT fully and securly connected and bonded to the main panel.
The wire just passes through 3 of the junction boxes, my ground wire is insulated THHN, not bare. Is there any reason to cut that ground wire and bond it to each box since the EMT is already a valid ground path?
If I am suppose to bond that ground wire to the boxes, what if I am pulling the ground wire to use as an isolated ground connection?
Thanks
Jamie
