An employer is defined as "an individual, partnership, association, corporation or other legal entity, or any two or more of the foregoing engaged in a joint enterprise, and including the legal representatives of a deceased employer, or the receiver or trustee of an individual, partnership, association or other legal entity, employing employees. However the owner of a dwelling house having not more than three apartments and who resides therein, or the occupant of the dwelling house of another who employs persons to do maintenance, construction or repair work on such dwelling house or on the grounds or building appurtenant thereto shall not because of such bmployment be, deemed to. be an employer." MGL chapter 152, §25C(6) also states that "every state or lo ' cal licensing agency shall withhold the issuance or renewal of a license or permit to operate a business or to construct buildings in the commonwealth for any applicant who has not produced acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance coverage required." Additionally, MGL chapter 152, §25C(7) states 'Neither the commonwealth nor any of its political subdivisions shall enter into any contract for the performance of public work until acceptable evidence of compli . ance with the insurance requirements of this chapter have been presented to the contracting authority."

Robert Nicetta, Building Connnissioner 9-6-06 Dear Ms. Casey TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER OFFICE OF BUILDING DEPARTMENT 400 Osgood Street North Andover, Massachusetts 0 1845 Telephone (978) 688-95454 Fax (978) 688-9542 After reading your letter I can see that you are clearly confused about what I said and the way it can be resolved. You stated to me in your letter, quote, "It is your claim that the grounding electrode conductor at the water meter that currently goes directly to the panel must go to the new electric meter first and then to the panel." Wrong!!! Did not say that! I did say that after you moved the service meter and main disconnect to the other side of the house the two service panels then became sub panels and were required to have grounds bonded and neutral isolated and separated from grounds in the panel. (Note below) As in diagrams I have supplies to you, I also said: The grounding conductor must go from the main service disconnect to the water pipe on the line side of the shut off (meter jumped) Only -- not to the sub panel. This wire shall also conform to 250.62 (13) Also 250.24 (A)(1) states: The connection SHALL BE MADE ......... at the service disconnecting means. (Not @ sub panel) On page two of your letter you stated that the grounding conductor from the meter to the ground rods you installed is an acceptable means and you are right but this is only part of the mix ... this is called the supplemental ground, the main service water pipe ground is also needed as stated above at this dwelling. Note: Repairing the code violation in the sub panel is something that had to be done due to your service change. (Sorry) Additional paperwork enclosed to help you understand what has to be done before I clear the service with National Grid. Upon completion or any other questions regarding this matter call 978 688 9545.

The neutral conductor was required to be bonded to the building disconnect enclosure and grounded to a grounding electrode no matter what type of Figure 4 wiring method was used. Subpanel is located in or on the same building or When installed this way, any metal piping common to both buildings and bonded into structure as the service the grounding system of both buildings became a parallel path and would carry a large equipment and is percentage of the neutral current under normal operating conditions.

Now, the main requirement is to isolate the neutral Figure 6 at the second building; only under limited conditions can you reground it. Grounding a separately derived AC generator NEC Current Requirements Let's review how to properly install a subpanel. All examples and illustrated wiring Figure 7 methods are for a 120/240 -volt, three -wire, single-phase system, unless otherwise Grounding separately noted. All code references are to the 2002 NEC. Unfortunately, some states, such as derived transformer California, are still using older editions of the NEC; therefore, we have provided Table system I for a cross reference of code sections referred to in this article.

Page'2 ot N 3. The branch circuit includes an equipment grounding conductor for bonding water and gas pipes [see Sections 250.104(A)(3) and (13)] and for bonding the conductive non -current -carrying parts of all equipment. 4. A disconnecting means is required at the separate building or structure (see Section 225.32 for orderly shutdown, lighting standards and pole sign exceptions). The disconnecting means must be suitable for use as service equipment. However, figure 1 shows the exception to this requirement, which would allow a snap switch as the disconnecting means for garages and outbuildings on residential properties (see Section 225.36 Exception). Subpanel located in or on a building or structure separate from the service equipment Section 250.32(B), Grounded Systems, contains provisions which result in two different ways to connect grounding and bonding conductors at a subpanel located in or on a building or structure supplied from a separate building or structure. Figure 2 illustrates 250.32(B)(1), the first way to wire a subpanel. The following are key points for this installation: 1. The subpanel is located in or on a building or structure supplied from a separate building or structure. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire plus ground feeder (two ungrounded (hot) conductors, one grounded [neutral] conductor and one equipment grounding conductor). 3. The neutral bus is isolated from the subpanel by insulating material. 4. A grounding electrode is required. Existing electrodes must be bonded to the equipment grounding terminal bar by a grounding electrode conductor sized according to Table 250.66 and based on the largest ungrounded (hot) conductor of the feeder (note the change from the 1999 NEC, where Table 250-122 was referenced). 5. Water and gas pipes are also required to be bonded to the equipment grounding terminal bar. See Sections 250-104(A)(3) and (B) for the bonding conductor size. Figure 3 illustrates the second way to wire a subpanel. The following are key points for this installation: 1. The subpanel is located in or on a building or structure supplied from a separate building or structure. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire feeder (two ungrounded [hot] conductors and one grounded [neutral] conductor). An equipment grounding conductor is not run with the feeder. I There are no continuous metallic paths bonded to the grounding system in both buildings or structures involved (no parallel neutral paths, i.e., water pipes, gas pipes, metal raceways, and so forth). 4. Ground -fault protection of equipment has not been installed on the cornmon AC service. 5.

See Sections 250.104(A)(3) and (B) for the bonding conductor size. Parallel neutral paths for current may also exist from subpanels incorrectly installed in or on the same building or structure as the service equipment. Let's als-o review how to install these panels. Subpanel located in or on the same building or structure as the service equipment, Sections 250.24(A)(5) and 408.20 limit the installation of subpanels to one method when the panel is located in or on the same building or structure as the service equipment, -Ficwre 4 illustrates the only grounding and bonding connections allowed in this situation. Remember the following key points for this installation: 1. The subpanel is located in or on the same building or structure as the service equipment, 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire plus ground feeder (two hots, one neutral and one equipment grounding conductor), Metal conduit may act as the equipment grounding conductor when not prohibited, such as in Section 680.25, which contains requirements for a subpanel supplying swimming pool equipment. 3. The neutral bus is isolated from the subpanel by insulating material (plastic, and so forth). 4. No electrode is required at the subpanel location. FIELD CORRECTIONS Recommendations to eliminate parallel neutral paths and to correct improperly installed subpanels Thousands of existing subpanel installations have the problem of parallel neutral paths. We have come full circle with this problem (first by addressing the Code problem and now the field problem). We will now try to solve the issue of what to do with these existing installations. Remember, all corrective measures must first be approved by the authority having jurisdiction (local electrical inspector) in your area before you start. The first existing installation is as follows: Existing Field Conditions 1. The subpanel is located in a separate building. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire plus ground feeder (two hots, one neutral and one equipment grounding conductor). 3. The subpanel has a neutral bus that can be isolated. 4. The neutral conductors, the equipment grounding conductors and the subpanel's qrounding electrode conductor all terminate on the neutral bus, which is bonded (by a screw or strap) to the panel enclosure. 5. The feeder raceway is metal. 6. The water and gas pipes are not bonded. Field Problems This existing installation does not meet the requirements of Section 250.32 for the http:,,'I'www.iaei.(Il-g/,qLib,scrib(,-r,'iiia,,azine/`03 f'03 f threechiefs.hti-n 9,,'5,2006 November- December 2003: Three Chict's Come Full Circle on Parallel Paths and End on ... Page .4 ot*:� following reasons: 1. The feeder's metal raceway, equipment grounding conductor and the subpanel's grounding electrode are all parallel neutral paths that need to be eliminated. 2. The water and gas pipes are not connected to the electrical supply in a manner that establishes an effective grourid-fault (Ajrrt�nt path. Recommended Corrections 1. Turn off the power to the subpanel. 2. Disconnect the bonding screw or strap that bonds the neutral bus to the subpanel enclosure. The neutral bus is now isolated from the subpanel enclosure. 3. Remove all equipment grounding conductors and the grounding electrode conductor from the neutral bus. Only grounded (neutral) conductors are to remain connected to the neutral bus. 4. Install an equipment grounding terminal bar (see the panel's label or installation instructions for the recommended type of grounding bar and its mounting instructions). When installed correctly, this grounding bar will be attached (bonded) directly to the subpanel's enclosure. 5. The water and gas pipes are required to be bonded to the equipment grounding terminal bar. See Sections 250.104(A)(3) and (B) for the bonding conductor size. 6. All equipment grounding conductors and the grounding electrode conductor are required to be connected to the equipment grounding terminal bar. 7, Turn the subpanel's power back on. Problem Solved The parallel neutral current paths have been eliminated from the metal raceway, equipment grounding conductor and the grounding electrode. The water and gas pipes are bonded back to the electrical supply and now have an effective ground -fault current path that will facilitate the operation of the overcurrent device should a ground fault to the piping occur. Our second existing installation is as follows: Existing Field Conditions 1. The subpanel is located in a separate building. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire feeder ( two hots and one neutral). 3. There are continuous metallic paths (water and gas pipes) bonded to the neutral bus in both buildings or structures involved. 4. Ground -fault protection of equipment has not been installed on the common AC service. S. The neut,-al bus is bonded to the subpanel enclosure (by a screw or strap) and is also acting as the equipment grounding terminal bar. 6. There are no grounding electrodes connected to the subpanel. littp:/','wm!iv.iaei.org.'subscriber,,magaziiie./03,-F'03-f threechiefis.htrn 9./5/ 2006 Nowniber-December'1003: I hree ChiCtS COMC FL111 C'ircic on Parallel Paths and End on ... 5 ot'8 7.

Disconnect the bonding screw or strap that bonds the neutral bus to the subpanel enclosure. The neutral bus is now isolated from the subpanel enclosure. Disconnect all equipment grounding and bonding conductors. 4. Install an equipment grounding terminal bar and connect all equipment grounding conductors to it. 5. Install a ground rod and connect it with a grounding electrode conductor to the equipment grounding terminal bar. 6. The water and gas pipes are to be bonded to the equipment grounding terminal bar. See Sections 250.104(A)(3) and (B) for the bonding conductor size. 7. Turn on the service power. Problem Solved The parallel neutral current paths have been eliminated from the water and gas pipes. The equipment grounding and bonding conductors have been removed from the neutral bus and attached to an equipment grounding terminal bar, along with the ground rod via the grounding electrode conductor. The neutral bus has been isolated from the subpanel enclosure. Our last existing installation involving a subpanel is as follows: Existing Field Condition 1. The subpanel is located in the same building as the service equipment. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire feeder in flexible metal (steel) conduit, over 1.8 m (6 ft) long and not listed for grounding. 3. There is no equipment grounding conductor with the feeder supplying the subpanel, 4. There is no equipment grounding terminal bar, grounded conductors (nuutrals) and equipment grounding conductors are all connected to the neutral bus, which is bonded to the subpanel enclosure, Recommended Corrections 1.

The neutral"!,, us has been isolated from the subpanel enclosure. OTHER PARALLEL NEUTRAL PATHS Our focus on neutral current on multiple paths has primarily been between services and subpanels. However, objectionable current on the grounding and bonding paths and other metal parts may be created from other improper connections between neutral and ground or grounded metal enclosures. We will now discuss two common situations where parallel paths for normal neutral current are also created. Non -Separately Derived Systems —Tra n sforme rs and Generators Our first example will cover non -separately derived systems such as an emergency or standby generator. On non -separately derived grounded systems (example: a 480Y/277V system with a three -pole transfer switch where the neutral is carried through solid) common installation errors, code violations and various grounding schemes can create parallel paths for neutral currents over grounding and bonding paths. This would be in violation of Section 250.6, Objectionable Current Over Grounding Conductors. Parallel Neutral Paths Many times generators are shipped from factories with their neutrals bonded to their case. If the generator is connected through a transfer switch which does not open the service supplied system neutral (as in the example above), the generator's ground and neutral conductors, which are bonded together at the generator, will establish parallel neutral paths through the grounding conductor, interconnecting metal raceway and the generator's electrode, Recommended Corrections The recommended correction in this case would be to isolate the neutral at the generator from the case, grounding conductors and electrodes, The neutral is also isolated from the transfer switch enclosure; however, it is bonded to the service equipment enclosure, in addition to being grounded there (see figure 5), Separately Derived Systems—Transformers and Generators Our second example will cover separately derived grounded systems which indlide transformers and generators. In the case of our 480Y/277V system used obove, it is now connected throuqh a four -pole transfer switch where the neutral is switched open. The neutral from the generator and the neutril at the service are now i-olated from each other. The neutral is also isolated from the transfer switch enclOSUre" (see figure 6).

Pagel ot 8 250-30, Simply put, this section requires bonding and groundi ; connections either at the transformer or generator, or at the first (fused) switch or c1r,-_!.1it breaker they feed, but not at both (see Section 250.30(A)(1) Exception 1), for that would establish a parallel neutral path on the grounding and bonding paths between them (see figure 7), CONCLUSION We have pointed out the problems of neutral current on parallel paths in previously published articles. Those articles helped to change the Code in order to prevent those problems from occurring in new installdtions. This article illustr;.il:es chese changes and also tells you how to fix the problems in existing installations. Now that we have come full circle, so to speak, on the prohicrns of parallel neutral paths, where do we go from here? Well, here's a tangent to ider: TANGENT We do not think we can tell people too often that they sl -,.-.,.,Id study the Code, in general, and Article 250, in particular. Article 250 has unclerqc��e significant revision in both the 1999 and 2002 editions of the NEC. The intent of th, - o,-,- changes was to make the article easier to read and understand. The changes to Se'c;:!.)n 250.32 as illustrated above were only one of many. One of the more important changes was the addition of Article 250.4 (250-2 in the 1999 edition), which provides performance requirements for grcunding and bonding. Performance requirements are helpful since they actually define what grounding and bonding are intended to accomplish in the electrical system. Article 250 now clearly states that grounding performs a specific function in the electrical system and that bonding performs a separate and distinctly different function. The 1999 NEC introduced the term fault -current path to better describe the necessary function performed by bonding. The 2002 NEC adds definitions of ground - fault, ground -fault current path and effective ground -fault current path. These definitions, in conjunction with the performance requirements, help to explain the "why" of grounding and bonding requirements. Proper grounding and bonding are critical elements in a safe electrical installation, All inspectors and installers are encouraged to review the "new" Article 250 and become familiar with the significant changes. We also recommend IAEI's Scares Book on Grounding for further study on this important topic. ' "Subpanels: Special Wiring and Grounding Requirements," 1993 Sept./Oct.

Dear Gentlemen, My name is Peter Murphy. [MA license # 9477A - 18203E] Since January 2005, 1 have been the Electrical Inspector for the Town of North Andover, MA. On 8-25-06, 1 performedan Electrical Inspection at 27 Hewitt Ave. North Andover, MA, in which I rejected a residential single-family service change. The work was installed by Electrical Contractor Ms. Kelly Casey (MA license # 37200 9-94) of Dracut, MA. To facilitate a garage addition with a room above, the work involved moving the meter location from one side of the house to the other, with the combination meter / 100 Amp main service disconnect located outside the dwelling at the new location. SER cable feed from the main service disconnect to the two existing sub panels (now, after location change) nippled together at the original 100 Amp main location. Mr. Ken Keene, the Building Contractor, lives on the adjacent property and is constructing the garage addition for his dauahter at this location. He sent his son for access to the property for my inspection. (Mr. Community Development Division, 1600 Osgood Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Phone 978.688.9545 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnorthandover.com M N% to /�F/4,7 � " - '.. .,. - '0 1 Town of North Andover BUILDING DEPARTMENT Keene has often called for Ms. Casey's inspections for nearly the past two years, and this has been acceptable to me.) Ms. Casey was not present at any of the inspections (the first one on 8- 25-06). 1 told Mr. Keene's son that two main code violations had to be repaired. I explained the violations. I also provided him a diagram. Mr. Keene's son said he would forward the information to Ms. Casey, which he did. Note: The supplemental ground to the two ground rod electrodes were connected to the new combination meter/10OAmp main service disconnect located outside. [Installed by Ms. Casey, as it should be, (howeverthis will surface later. I 8-28-06 1 received a call Monday morning from Ms. Casey stating that the diagram I had supplied did not apply to her job situation. All NEC & MA code rule numbers are clearly listed on the diagram. (Enclosed) Titled: Service and Sub Panel in or on same bu (It could not be much clearer, in my mind.) We discussed the two violations. I tried to be very cle . She did not agree and was adamantly opposed to my findings. Violation 1: [Fax sent after phone conversation — 250-24-(A)(5) illustrated. (Enclosed)] The #6 Grounding electrode conductor must now be run from the water meter to the main service disconnect located outside at the new meter location and connected to the (white wire) service neutral (as per the diagram.) The wire must now at this point be removed from the old 100 amp main panel to the water main, which now becomes the sub panel. (She strongly disagreed.) ,ommunity Development Division, 1600 Osgood Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 3hone 978.688.9545 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnorthandover.com 2 d .1 taORTFt ,4L Town of North Andover BUILDING DEPARTMENT Violation 2: (A) At the old existing 100 amp main panel (note: two 20 circuit breaker panels, ioined) both panels must have neutral isolated from the panel, and ground wires isolated from the neutral, with the ground wires bonded to the panel. She did the old main panel but refused to do the other stating, "It was a sub panel off the main panel. It should have been done at the time of installation and she did not feel she should have to be required to do this because it was a previous violation." She also stated another reason that she, "Did not figure that cost into the job quote." (She Agga strongly disagreed.) (B) Same issue as: '�iolation I — The old ground wire to the water meter must be removed and also removed ai the sub panel or old 100 amp location. I told her over the phone that I was not trying to make her do anything more than what she was required. (She ngin strongly disagreed.) Ms. Casey received the necessary town permit & service number. She was told by National Grid that they would change over the service drop and point of attachment after the Municipal Inspection was cleared. They would work together on the service at that time. She said, "It would be a few weeks." At the time of the service change, Ms. Casey decided to run SE cable across the roof of the structure (20 to 30 feet) from the existing service drop to her new service, against National Grid procedures, without permission from National Grid or myself. (Pictures enclosed.) The National Grid representative with whom I spoke on 8-31-06 seemed surprised that the service was done in that manner, having talked to Ms. Casey previously about this very issue. ,ommunity Development Division, 1600 Osgood Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 -hone 978.688.9545 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnorthandover.com or . L, All Town of North Andover BUILDING DEPARTMENT Discussing the issues with the National Grid representative, one concern I had was that the normal cutover takes about two weeks. With Hurricane Florence off the coast, I asked for a faster cutover. Understanding my weather concern, he also said, "After Ms. Casey repaired the violations and the service was cleared, that he would try for a reconnect within two to three days." (Scheduled for cut -over on 9-12-06) 9-5-06 —1 received letter #I from Ms. Casey Please now read letter marked I dated 8-28-06 then return to this point. Due to a medical test on 9-01-06, 1 was out of the office. The next time I heard from her was 9-5-06 after Labor Day in a letter dated 8-28-06. Due to the fact that I am the only Electrical Inspector in North Andover, and that my job is a very busy part-time position, my correspondence of 9-6-06 to Ms. Casey and this document to you were written at home. 9-6-06 My letter to Ms. Casey, diagrams and many code illustrations were sent. (Included) Please now read letter marked 2 dated 9-6-06 then return to this point. On the morning of 9-7-06 another inspection at Mr. Keene's daughter's house revealed: 1. . Correctly completed: The ground wire from the water pipe to the main service disconnect 2. Supplemental ground: Was taken off main service disconnect and installed at water meter? 3. Still connected: Wire from old main or current sub panel to the water pipe (Violation 2B.)

"I ri. 0 000 4L �i a Town of North Andover BUILDING DEPARTMENT It wasfirustrating to me to see that Ms. Casey still had not corrected this simple problem. In order to allow the service to be cleared at National Grid, I permitted Mr. Keene to correct point 3 above'(Violation 213). At that point I did clear the service on 9-7-06. On 9-8-06 1 received another letter from Ms. Casey. Due to the tone of that letter, I feel extremely uncomfortable conducting further inspections involving her. Please now read letters marked 3 dated 9-5-06 then return to this point. Thank you very much for your time. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in the resolution of this matter. Please feel free to contact me. My working hours are Monday through Friday from 7:OOAM - 1:00PM, and call-in office hours are from 7:30AM — 9:OOAM. Sincerely, Peter J.

Peter Murphy Re: 27HewittAve Dear Mr. Murphy: This letter is in response to our telephone conversations of today and your fax of the same. As it stands, I understand that you have two concerns regarding the meter relocation that I performed at 27 Hewitt Ave. I understand your concerns to be as follows: 1. The existing sub panel's neutral and ground wires are not properly separated. 2. It is your claim that the grounding electrode conductor at the water meter that currently goes directly to the panel must go to the new electrical meter first and then to the panel. Regarding Item 1: It remains my position that I am not responsible to update a code violation that was in existence prior to work that I performed. The second panel that you have an issue with was already in existence as a sub panel. The second panel was fed from the first panel and therefore, should have had the neutrals and grounds separated previously. Under rule 3 of 527 CMR 12: 2005 Massachusetts Electrical Code (Amendments), I am 4 not obligated to correct code violations by others, however; I have purchased a ground bar to correct this issue. Please be advised that in the future I will only correct existing code violations per my discretion. Regarding Item 2: In our telephone conversation, you stated that you had faxed to me the code that I was in violation of, ho�ever; I am not in violation of Article 250.24A(l). Article 250.24A(l) actually supports my position. As explained in the said Article, "A premises wiring system supplied by a grounded ac service shall have a grounding electrode conductor connected to the grounded service conductor. " The grounding electrode conductor for the meter socket in the present situation is the conductor that I installed which runs from the meter socket to the ground rods. Under Article 250.52(5) this is an acceptable grounding electrode method as part of the grounding electrode system. Furthermore, the document that you faxed states that "The actual connection of the grounded service conductor to the grounded electrode conductor is permitted to be made at various locations according to 250.24A(l). Allowing various locationsfor the connection to be made continues to meet the overall objectivesfor grounding while allowing the installer a variety ofpractical solutions. " In other words, I am allowed to attach the grounding electrode conductor to any point on the grounding electrode system. Article 250.24A(l) does not state that I must run the grounding electrode conductor from the water meter to the electrical meter prior to running it to the panel. I trust that the information contained herein resolves our disagreement on these two alleged code violations, however; in the event that it does not, I respectfully request that you send me an official letter stating otherwise so that we may resolve this issue in a timely manner.

As of today, I have not received a letter from you explaining how my work is in violation of the electrical code. My request for said letter is not unreasonable; in fact, pursuant to Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3L, you are required to send me written notification of any code violations within 5 dq s of your inspection; an inspection y tliatyoul2erformedonAup,ust25,2006. "The inspector of wires shall ... give written notice of his approval or disapproval ofsaid work. A notice of disapproval shall contain specifications of the part ofwork disapproved, together with a reference to the rule or regulation of the Board ofFire Prevention Regulations which has been violated " Not only have you not sent me the requested letter, you have not called National Grid to approve my work so that I may have the service wires moved at 27 Hewitt Ave from their current location to the proposed location. Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3P states that I have a right to appeal your interpretation of an alleged code violation if I do not agree with you, however; you are denying me this right by not sending me written notification as required by law. In addition, under the same chapter, Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3P, you do not have the authority to force me to fix an alleged violation without a decision from the Board of Electricians on appeal; in doing so you are acting unprofessional and in bad faith. Furthermore, it is blatantly obvious that the way in which you are trying to get me to comply with your demands is by coercion in that you are refusing to call National Grid. Compliance with any notice, interpretation, order, requirement or direction of an inspector of wires or other person charged with the enforcement of the rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Prevention Regulations shall be excusedpending thefinal determination ofany appeal thereftom taken under this section. " Not only is your not calling National Grid not excusing alleged code violations as required by you under Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3P, it is my understanding that the framing at 27 Hewitt Ave is taking place this week; you are putting the framers in danger of electrocution by not allowing me to arrange with National Grid the relocation of the service wires. Please be advised that should any worker be hurt due to your unreasonable and bad faith actions, this letter will be forwarded to the appropriate authorities as evidence of constructive notice given to you. Please be advised that if you do not call National Grid by Friday, September 8, 2006, 1 will have no choice but to file a complaint against you with the Board of Electricians as well as the appropriate individual or entity that appointed/elected you as electrical inspector for the Town of North Andover.

Under rule 3 of 527 CMR 12: 2005 Massachusetts Electrical Code (Amendments), I am FM not obligated to correct code violations by others, however; I have purchased a ground bar to correct this issue. Please be advised that in the future I will only correct existing code violations per my discretion. Regarding Item 2: In our telephone conversation, you stated that you had faxed to me the code that I was in violation of, however; I am not in violation of Article 250.24A(l). Article 250.24A(l) actually supports my position. As explained in the said Article, "A premises wiring system supplied by a grounded ac service shall have a grounding electrode conductor connected to the grounded service conductor. " The grounding electrode conductor for the meter socket in the present situation is the conductor that I installed which runs from the meter socket to the ground rods. Under Article 250.52(5) this is an acceptable grounding electrode method as part of the grounding electrode system. Furthermore, the document that you faxed states that "The actual connection of the grounded service conductor to the grounded electrode conductor is permitted to be made at various locations according to 250.24A(l). Allowing various locationsfor the connection to be made continues to meet the overall objectivesfor grounding while allowing the installer a variety ofpractical solutions. " In other words, I am allowed to attach the grounding electrode conductor to any point on the grounding electrode system. Article 250.24A(l) does not state that I must run the grounding electrode conductor from the water meter to the electrical meter prior to running it to the panel.

As of today, I have not received a letter from you explaining how my work is in violation of the electrical code. My request for said letter is not un . reasonable; in fact, pursuant to Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3L, you are required to send me written notification of any code violations within 5 days of — 1 your inspec ion; an inspection that you performed on August 25, 2006. "The inspector ofwires shall ... give written notice of his approval or disapproval ofsaid work. A notice ofdisapproval shall contain speci/ications of the part of work disapproved, together with a reference to the rule or regulation of the.Board ofFire Prevention Regulations which has been violated " Not only have you not sent me the requested letter, you have not called National Grid to �ipprove my work so that I may have thesemice wires moved at 27 HewittAve from their current location to the proposed location. Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3P states that I have a right to appeal your interpretation of an alleged code violation if I do not agree with you, however; you are denying me this right by not sending me written notification as required by law. In addition, under the same chapter, Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3P, you do not have the authority to force me to fix an alleged violation without a decision from the Board of Electricians on appeal; in doing so you are acting unprofessional and in bad faith. Furthermore, it is blatantly obvious that the way in which you are trying to get me to comply with your demands is by coercion in that you are refusing to call National Grid. Compliance with any notice, interpretation, order, requirement or direction of an inspector oj'wires or other person charged with the enforcement of the rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Prevention Regulations shall be excusedpending thefinal determination ofany appeal thereftom taken under this section. Not only is your not calling National Grid not excusing alleged code violations as required by you under Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3P, it is my understanding that the framing at 27 Hewitt Ave is taking place this week; you are putting the framers in danger of electrocution by not allowing me to arrange with National Grid the relocation of the service wires. Please be advised that should any worker be hurt due to your unreasonable and bad faith actions, this letter will be forwarded to the appropriate authorities as evidence of constructive notice given to you. Please be advised that if you do not call National Grid by Friday, September 8, 2006, 1 -----will have no choice but toi file aT complaint- against you with the Board of Electricians -as-- - — well as the appropriate individual or entity that appointed/elected you as electrical inspector for the Town of North Andover.

You stated to me in your letter, quote, "It is your claim that the grounding electrode conductor at the water meter that currently goes directly to the panel must go to the new electric meter first and then to the panel." Wrong!!! Did not say that! I did say that after you moved the service meter and main disconnect to the other side of the house the two service panels then becaine sub panels and were required to have grounds bonded and neutral isolated and se hrated from grounds .p in the panel. (Note below) As in diagrams I have supplies to you, I also said: The grounding conductor must go from the ' main service disconnect to the water pipe on the line side of the shut off (meter jumped) Only -- not to the sub panel. This wire shall also conform to 250.62 (B) Also 250.24 (A)(1) states: The connection SHALL BE NUDE ......... at the service disconnecting means. (Not @ sub panel) - On page two of your letter you stated that the grounding conductor from the meter to the ground rods you installed is an acceptable means and you are right but this is only part of the mix ... this is called the supplemental ground, the main service water pipe ground is also needed as stated above at this dwelling. Note: Repairing the code violation in the sub panel is something that had to be done due to your service change. (Sorry) Additional paperwork enclosed to help you understand what has to be done before I clear the service with National Grid.

Re: 27 Hewitt Ave. North Andover, Ma. Ms.Casey, This correspondence is in regards to the electrical service you installed at 27 Hewitt Ave. in September, 2006. 1 may not have clearly stated at that time that you have a remaining code violation. At the time of your first inspection you had the Supplemental ground (two ground rods) terminated at the service, meter/main disconnec� the outside equipment. At the time of the second inspection you changed the location to the dwelling's water meter which then produced the code infraction that I'm addressing now. This grounding conductor must be terminated at a specific location, that location is the meter/main disconnect as described in the literature that is enclosed under Supplemental Electrode p.97, Specific locations p.98, and p.98 graphic picture. Once a citation is issued state law requires the violation be repaired correctly or you may file for a state appeal but must do so within 10 days.

In your letter. you write, "I may have not clearly stated at the ,time that you have a remaining code violation." With all due respect, you never notified me of this latest alleged code violation until your letter of December 20, 2006. In fact, instead of notifying me of your concern, you chose to contact Mr. Richard Paris, an investigator at the Office of State Investigations. Clearly, contacting Mr. Paris is not what state law requires of you for an alleged code violation prior to giving me written notice of the alleged violation. As such, and for the reasons stated herein, I do not intend - ,to appeal your latest decision at this time. With the procedural aspects of your latest concern set aside, I would like to point out two of my concerns in this matter. First and foremost, you have already handed the situation at 27 Hewitt Ave. over to the Office of Investigations and I am reluctant to interfere with the investigation process. Second, under your own admission, you have instructed others, who are not licensed electricians, to do work on my permit, as such, I am hesitant to do any other work at 27 Hewitt Ave. Regarding the alleged code violation, the supplemental grounding electrode conductor is directly connected to the grounding electrode conductor as permitted under 250.53 (d)(2). Said article does not state that the connection of these two grounding conductors must be connected at the main disconnect as you state in your letter. In closing, where this matter is under investigation, I respectfully request that you do not contact me any further in regards to 27 Hewitt Ave. until the investigation is complete.

Dear Gentlemen, My name is Peter Murphy. [MA license # 9477A - 18203E] Since January 2005, 1 have been the Electrical Inspector for the Town of North Andover, MA. On 8-25-06, 1 perfon-ned an Electrical Inspection at 27 Hewitt Ave. North Andover, MA, in which I rejected a residential single-family service change. The work was installed by Electrical Contractor Ms. Kelly Casey (MA license # 37200 9-94) of Dracut, MA. To facilitate a garage addition with a room above, the work involved moving the meter location from one side of the house to the other, with the combination meter / 100 Amp main service disconnect located outside the dwelling at the new location. SER cable feed frorn the main service disconnect to the two existing sub panels (now, after location change) nippled together at the original 100 Amp main location. Mr. Ken Keene, the Building Contractor, lives on the adjacent property and is constructing the garage addition for his daup,hte at this location. He sent his son for access to the property for my inspection. (Mr. Comniuriity Developmeiit Division, -1600 Osgood Sti-eet, �Ioi-th Aiidovei', Massachusetts 01845 ;3hoiie 978.688.9545 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnoi1haiidover.coiii Arco 'rown of North Andover WILDING DEPARTMENT Keene has often called for Ms. Casey's inspections for nearly the past two years, and this has been acceptable to me.) Ms. Casey was not present at any of the inspections (the first one on 8- 25-06). 1 told Mr. Keene's son that two main code violations had to be repaired. I explained the violations. I also provided him a diagram. Mr. Keene's son said he would forward the information to Ms. Casey, which he did. Note: The supplemental ground to the two ground rod electrodes were connected to the new combination meter/100Arny main service disconnect located outside. [Installed by Ms. Casey, as it should -be, (however, this will surface later.)] 8-28-06 1 received a call Monday morning from Ms. Casey stating that the diagram I had supplied did not apply to her job situation. All NEC & MA code rule numbers are clearly listed on the diagram. (Enclosed) Titled: Service and Sub Panel in or on same bujhAgg (It could not be much clearer, in my mind.) We discussed the two violations. I tried to be ve[Y clear. She did not agree and was adamantly opposed to my findings. Holation 1: [Fax sent after phone conversation _ 250-24-(A)(5) illustrated. (Enclosed)] The #6 Grounding electrode conductor must now be run from the water meter to the main service disconnect located outside at the new meter location and coniiccted to the (white wire) service neutral (as per the diagram.) The wire must now at this point be removed from the old 100 amp main panel to the water main, which now becomes the sub panel.

She did the old main panel but refused to do the other stating, "It was a sub panel off the main panel. It should have been done at the time of installation and she did not feel she should have to be required to do this because it was a previous violation." She also stated another reason that she, "Did not figure that cost into the job quote." (She lglin strongly disagreed.) (B) Same issue as: Violation I — The old ground wire to the water meter must be removed and also removed at the sub panel or old 100 amp location. I told her over the phone that I was not trying to make her do anything more than what she was required. (She Iggk strongly disagreed.) Ms. Casey received the necessary town permit & service number. She was told by National Grid that they would change over the service drop and point of attachment after the Municipal Inspection was cleared. They would work together on the service at that time. She said, "It would be a few weeks." At the time of the service change, Ms. Casey decided to run SE cable across the roof of the structure (20 to 30 feet) from the existing service drop to her new service, against National Grid procedures, without permission from National Grid or myself. (Pictures enclosed.) The National Grid representative with whom I spoke on 8-31-06 seemed surprised that the service I was done in that manner, having talked to Ms. Casey previously about this very issue.

With Hurricane Florence off the coast, I asked for a faster cutover. Understanding my weather concern, he also said, "After Ms. Casey repaired the violations and the service was cleared, that he would try for a reconnect within two to three days." (Scheduled for cut -over on 9-12-06) 9-5-06 1 received letter #1 from Ms. Casey Please now read letter marked I dated 8-28-06 then return to this point. Due to a medical test on 9-01-06, 1 was out of the office. The next time I heard from her was 9-5-06 after Labor Day in a letter dated 8-28-06. Due to the fact that I am the only Electrical Inspector in North Andover, and that my job is a very busy part-time position, my correspondence of 9-6-06 to Ms. Casey and this document to you were written at home. 9-6-06 My letter to Ms. Casey, diagrams and many code illustrations were sent. (Included) Please now read letter marked 2 dated 9-6-06 then return to this PoinL On the morning of 9-7-06 another inspection at Mr. Keene's daughter's house revealed: 1. Correctly completed: The ground wire from the water pipe to the main service disconnect In Supplemental 2round: Was taken off main service disconnect and installed at water meter? 3.

In order to allow the service to be cleared at National Grid, I permitted Mr. Keene to correct point 3 above (Violation 213). At that point I did clear the service on 9-7-06. On 9-8-06 1 received another letter from Ms. Casey. Due to the tone of that letter, I feel extremely uncomfortable conducting further inspections involving her. Please now read letters marked 3 dated 9-5-06 then return to this point. Thank you very much for your time. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in the resolution of this matter.

As it stands, I understand that you have two concerns regarding the meter relocation that I performed at 27 Hewitt Ave. I understand your concerns to be as follows: I - The existing sub panel's neutral and ground wires are not properly separated. 2. It is your claim that the grounding electrode conductor at the water meter that currently goes directly to the panel must go to the new electrical meter first and then to the panel. Regarding Item 1: � It remains my position that I am not responsible to update A code violation that was in existence prior to work that I performed. The second panel that you have an issue %Nith %as already in existence as a sub panel. The second panel was fed from the first pancl and therefore, should have had the neutrals and grounds separated previously. Under rule 3 of 527 C NLIR 12: 2005 Massachusetts Electrical Code (Amendments), I un not obligated to correct code violations by others, however; I have purchased a ground bar to correct this issue. Please be advised that in the future I will only correct existing code violations per my discretion. Regarding Item 2: In our telephone conversation, you stated that you had faxed to me the code that I was in violation of, however; I am not in violation of Article 250.24A(l). Article 250.24A(l) actually supports my position. As explained in the said Article, "A premises wiring system supplied by a grounded ac service shall have a grounding electrode conductor connected to the grounded service conductor. " The grounding electrode conductor for the meter socket in the present situation is the conductor that I installed which runs from the meter socket to the ground rods. Under Article 250.52(5) this is an acceptable grounding electrode method as part of the grounding electrode system. Furthermore, the document that you faxed states that "The actual connection ofthe grounded service conductor to the grounded electrode conductor is permitted to be made at various locations according to 250.24A(l). Allowing various locationsfor the connection to be made continues to meet the overall objectivesfor grounding while allowing the installer a variety ofpractical solutions. " In other words, I am allowed to attach the grounding electrode conductor to any point on the grounding electrode system. Article 250.24A(l) does not state that I must run the grounding electrode conductor from the water meter to the electrical meter prior to running it to the panel. I trust that the inf6rmation contained herein resolves our disagreement on these two alleged code violations, however; in the event that it does not I respectfully request that you send me an official letter stating otherwise so that we may resolve this issue in a timely manner.

You stated to me in your letter, quote, "It is your claim that the grounding electrode conductor at the water meter that currently goes directly to the panel must go to the new electric meter first and then to the panel." Wrong!!! Did not say that! I did say that after you moved the service meter and main disconnect to the other side of the house the two service panels then became sub panels and were required to have grounds bonded and neutral isolated and separated from grounds in the panel. (Note below) As in diagrams I have supplies to you, I also said: The grounding conductor must go from the main service disconnect to the water pipe on the line side of the shut off (meter jumped) Only -- not to the sub Panel. This wire shall also conform to 250.62 (B) Also 250.24 (A)(1) states: The connection SHALL BE MADE ......... at the service disconnecting means.

Note: Repairing the code violation in the sub panel is something that had to be done due to your service change.

As of today, I have not received a letter from you explaining how my work is in violation of the electrical code. My request for said letter is not unreasonable; in fact, pursuant to Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3L, you are required to send me written notification of any code violations within 5 dgys of your inspection; an insvection that you performed on August 25, 2006. "The inspector ofwires shall ... give written notice of his approval or disapproval of said work A notice of disapproval shall contain specifications of the part of work disapproved, together with a reference to the rule or regulation of the Board ofFire Prevention Regulations which has been violated. " Not only have you not sent me the requested letter, you have not called National Grid to' -e my %ork so that I rna� ha,, e the sen ice .ipprov wires ino,,ed at 417 HewittAve from their current [ocation to the proposed location. Chapter 1,43 of the Massachu I setts General Laws § 3P states that I have a right to appeal your interpretation of an alleged code violation if I do not agree with you, however; you are denying me this right by not sending me written notification as required by law. In addition, under the same chapter, Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3P, you do not have the authority to force me to fix an alleged violation without a decision from the Board of Electricians on appeal; in doing so you are acting unprofessional and in bad faith. Furthermore, it is blatantly obvious that the way in which you are trying to get me to comply with your demands is by coercion in that you are refusing to call National Grid. Compliance with any notice, interpretation, order, requirement or direction ofan inspector oj'wires or other person charged with the enforcement of the rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Prevention Regulations shall be excuse pending thefinal determination of any appeal therefrom taken under this section. " Not only is your not calling National Grid not excusing alleged code violations as required by you under Chapter 143 of the Massachusetts General Laws § 3P, it is my understanding that the fi-dming at 27 Hewitt Ave is taking place this week; you are putting the framers in danger of electrocution by not allowing me to arrange with National Grid the relocation of the service wires. Please be advised that should any worker be hurt due to your unreasonable and bad faith actions, this letter will be forwarded to the appropriate authorities as evidence of constructive notice given to you. Please be advised that if you do not call National Grid by Friday, September 8, 2006, 1 will have no choice but to file a complaint against you with the Board of Electricians as well as the appropriate individual or entity that appointed/elected you as electrical inspector for the Town of North Andover.

The branch circuit includes an equipment grounding conductor for bonding water and gas pipes [see Sections 250.104(A)(3) and (13)] and for bonding the conductive non -current -carrying parts of all equipment. 4. A disconnecting means is required at the separate building or structure (see Section 225.32 for orderly shutdown, lighting standards and pole sign exceptions). The disconnecting means must be suitable for use as service equipment. However, figure I shows the exception to this requirement, which would allow a snap switch as the disconnecting means for garages and outbuildings on residential properties (see Section 225.36 Exception). Subpanel located in or on a building or structure separate from the service equipment Section 2SO,32(B), Grounded Systems, contains provisions which result in two different ways to connect grounding and bonding conductors at a subpanel locatcd in or on a building or structure supplied from a separate building or structure. Figure 2 illustrates 250,32(B)(1), the first way to wire a subpanel. The following are key points for this installation: 1. The subpanel is located in or on a building or structure supplied from a separate building or structure. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire plus ground feeder (two ungrounded (hot) conductors, one grounded (neutral] conductor and one equipment grounding conductor). 3. The neutral bus is isolated from the subpanel by insulating material. 4. A grounding electrode is required. Existing electrodes must be bonded to the equipment grounding terminal bar by a grounding electrode conductor sized according to Table 250.66 and based on the largest ungrounded (hot) conductor of the feeder (note the change from the 1999 NEC, where Table 250-122 was referenced). 5. Water and gas pipes are also required to be bonded to the equipment grounding terminal bar. See Sections 250-104(A)(3) and (B) for the bonding conductor size. Figure 3 illustrates the second way to wire a subpanel. The following are key points for this installation: 1. The subpanel is located in or on a building or structure supplied from a separate building or structure. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire feeder (two ungrounded [hot] conductors and one grounded [neutral] conductor). An equipment grounding conductor is not run with the feeder. 3. There are no continuous metallic paths bonded to the grounding system in both buildings or structures involved (no parallel neutral paths, i.e., water pipes, gas pipes, metal raceways, and so forth). 4. Ground -fault protection of equipment has not been installed on the 1-ornmon AC service, 5.

See Sections 250.104(A)(3) and (B) for the bonding conductor size. Parallel neutral paths for current may also exist from subpanels incorrectly installed in or on the same building or structure as the service equipment. Let's also review how to install these panels. Subpanel located in or on the same building or structure as the service equipment. Sections 250.24(A)(5) and 408.20 limit the installation of subpanels to one method when the panel is located in or on the same building or structure as the service equipment. fiaure- g illustrates the only grounding and bonding connections allowed in this situation. Remember the following key points for this installation: 1. The subpanel is located in or on the same building or structure as the service equipment. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire plus ground feeder (two hots, one neutral and one equipment grounding conductor). Metal conduit may act as the equipment grounding conductor when not prohibited, such as in Section 680.25, which contains requirements for a subpanel supplying swimming pool equipment. 3. The neutral bus is isolated from the subpanel by insulating material (plastic, and so forth). 4. No electrode is required at the subpanel location. FIELD CORRECTIONS Recommendations to eliminate parallel neutral paths and to correct improperly installed subpanels Thousands of existing subpanel installations have the problem of parallel neutral paths. We have come full circle with this problem (first by addressing the Code problem and now the field problem). We will now try to solve the issue of what to do with these existing installations. Remember, all corrective measures must first be approved by the authority having jurisdiction (local electrical inspector) in your area before you start. The first existing installation is as follows: Existing Field Conditions I. The subpanel is located in a separate building. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire plus ground feeder (two hots, one neutral and one equipment grounding conductor). 3. The subpanel has a neutral bus that can be isolated. 4. The neutral conductors, the equipment grounding conductors Lind the subpanel's qr0Unding electrode conductor all terminate on the noutral bus, which is bonded (by a screw or strap) to the panel enclosure. 5. The feeder racewdy is metal. 6. The water and gas pipes are not bonded.

The feeder's metal raceway, equipment grounding conductor and the subpanel's grounding electrode are all parallel neutral paths that need to be eliminated. 2. The water and gas pipes are not connected to the electrical supply in a manner that establishes at) effective ground -fault curri-rit path. Recommended Corrections 1. Turn off the power to the subpanel. 2. Disconnect the bonding screw or strap that bonds the neutral bus to the subpanel enclosure. The neutral bus is now isolated from the subpanel enclosure. 3. Remove all equipment grounding conductors and the grounding electrode conductor from the neutral bus. Only grounded (neutral) conductors are to remain connected to the neutral bus. 4. Install an equipment grounding terminal bar (see the panel's label or installation instructions for the recommended type of grounding bar and its mounting instructions). When installed correctly, this grounding bar will be attached (bonded) directly to the subpanel's enclosure. 5. The water and gas pipes are required to be bonded to the equipment grounding terminal bar. See Sections 250.104(A)(3) and (B) for the bonding conductor size. 6. All equipment grounding conductors and the grounding electrode conductor are required to be connected to the equipment grounding terminal bar. 7. Turn the subpanel's power back on. Problem Solved The parallel neutral current paths have been eliminated from the metal raceway, equipment grounding conductor and the grounding electrode, The water and gas pipes are bonded back to the electrical supply and now have an effective ground -fault current path that will facilitate the operation of the overcurrent* device should a ground fault to the piping occur. Our second existing installation is as follows: Existing Field Conditions 1. The subpanel is located in a separate building. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire feeder ( two hots and one neutral). 3. There are continuous metallic paths (water and gas pipes) bonded to the neutral bus in both buildings or ,;tructures involved. .4. Ground -fault protection of equipment has not been installed on the common AC service. S. The neut.-al bus is bonded to the subpanel enclosure (by a screw of, strap) and is also acting as the equipment grcunding terminal bar. 6.

The equipment grounding and bonding conductors have been removed from the neutral bus and attached to dr) equipment grounding terminal bar, along with the ground rod via the grounding electrode conductor. The neutral bus has been isolated from the subpanel enclosure. Our last existing installation involving a subpanel is as follows: Existing Field Condition 1. The subpanel is located in the same building as the service equipment. 2. The subpanel is supplied by a three -wire feeder in flexible metal (steel) conduit, over 1.8 m (6 ft) long and not listed for grounding. 3. There is no equipment grounding conductor with the feeder supplyinri the subpanel. 4.

The neutral has been isolated from the subpanel enclosure. OTHER PARALLEL NEUTRAL PATHS Our focus on neutral current on multiple paths has primarily been betwt2en services and subpanels. However, objectionable current on the grounding and bonding paths and other metal parts may be created from other improper connections between neutral and ground or grounded metal enclosures. We will now discuss two common situations where parallel paths for normal neutral current are also created. Non -Separately Derived Systems —Tra n sforme rs and Generators Our first example will cover non -separately derived systems such as an emergency or standby generator. On non -separately derived grounded systems (example: a 480Y/277V system with a three -pole transfer switch where the neutral is carried through solid) common installation errors, code violations and various grounding schemes can create parallel paths for neutral currents over grounding and bonding paths. This would be in violation of Section 250.6, Objectionable Current Over Grounding Conductors. Parallel Neutral Paths Many times generators are shipped from factories with their neutrals bonded to their case. If the generator is connected through a transfer switch which does not open the service supplied system neutral (as in the example above), the generator's ground and neutral conductors, which are bonded together at the generator, will establish parallel neutral paths through the grounding conductor, interconnecting metal raceway and the generator's electrode. Recommended Corrections The recommended correction in this case would be to isolate the neutral at the generator from the case, grounding conductors and electrodes, The neutral is also isolated from the transfer switch enclosure; however, it is bonded to the service equipment enclosure, in addition to being grounded there (see figure 5). Separately Derived Systems —Tra n sformers and Generators Our second example will cover 5eparately derived grounded systems which inclilde transformers and generators. In the cal.,.e of our 480Y/27 -/V system used �.ibove, it is now connected through a four-pcle transfer switch where the reutral is switched cp,2n. Th,� neutral from the generator ind the neutral at the service are now !!;olated frcrrl (-:ach other. The neutral is also isolated Ircm the transfer switch oncicRire (see figure 6). Code Requirement To Prevent Parallel Neutral Paths Requirements for grounding d separately derived AC system are locatcd in Section http:,'/�vw,,i�.iaei.org,,SLibscriber!l-nagazine.03—f!03-.f threechick.htrn 9.'5;2006 NoVCHIUCIF-u"Cilloul _'iJV.:i.

Simply put, this section requires bonding and ground, -, connections either at the transformer or generator, or at the first (fused) switch or breaker they feed, but not at both (see Section 250.30(A)(1) Exception 1), for that would establish a parallel neutral path on the grounding and bonding paths between thern (see figure 7). CONCLUSION We have pointed out the problems of neutral current on parallel paths in previously published articles. Those articles helped to change the Code in order to prevent those problems from occurring in new installations. This article illustr�.0:��s i1hese changes and also tells you how to fix the problems in existing installations. Now that we have come full circle, so to speak, on the prc,11cins of parallel neutral paths, where do we go from here? Well, here's a tangent to .:.-: - ;der: TANGENT We do not think we can tell people too often that they study the Code, in general, and Article 250, in particular. Article 250 has underrp: �c significant revision in both the 1999 and 2002 editions of the NEC. The intent of th.- changes was to make the article easier to read and understand. The changes to 150.32 as illustrated above were only one of many. One of the more important changes was the addition of Article 250.4 (250-2 in the 1999 edition), which provides performance requirements for grcunding and bonding. Performance requirements are helpful since they actually define what grounding and bonding are intended to accomplish in the electrical system. Article 250 now clearly states that grounding performs a specific function in the electrical system and that bonding performs a separate and distinctly different function. The 1999 NEC introduced the term fault -current path to better describe the necessary function performed by bonding. The 2002 NEC adds definitions of ground - fault, ground -fault current path and effective ground -fault current path. These definitions, in conjunction with the performance requirements, help to explain the '.why" of grounding and bonding requirements. Proper grounding and bonding are critical elements in a safe electrical installation. All inspectors and installers are encouraged to review the "new" Article 250 and become familiar with the significant changes. We also recommend IAEI's Soares; Book on Grounding for further study on this important topic. I "Subpanels: Special Wiring and Grounding Requirements," 1993 Sept./Oct.

Re: 27 Hewitt Ave. North Andover, Ma. Ms.Casey, This correspondence is in regards to the electrical service you installed at 27 Hewitt Ave. in September, 2006. 1 may not have clearly stated at that time that you have a remaining code violation. At the time of your first inspection you had the supplemental ground (two ground rods) terminated at the service, meter/main disegnnect, the outside equipment. At the time of the second inspection you changed the location to the dwelling's water meter which then produced the code infraction that I'm addressing now. This grounding conductor must be terminated at a specific location, that location is the meter/main disconnect as described in the literature that is enclosed under Supplemental Electrode p.97, Specific locations p.98, and p.98 graphic picture. Once a citation is issued state law requires the violation be repaired correctly or you may file for a state appeal but must do so within 10 days. Due to the holiday season, day one will be January 2, 2007. If you wish you can certainly appeal before that date. ou, 1?

Mr. Peter Murphy Re: 2 7 Hewitt Ave Dear Mr. Murphy: In response to your correspondence of December 20, 2006, regarding 27 Hewitt Ave., I respectfully submit the following: Although you are correct that an appeal of an electrical inspector's decision should be made within 10 days by an electrician that does not agree with an inspector's decision, the appeal process is based upon Massachusetts General Law Chapter 143 § 31, which states that an inspector is to notify the electrician within 5 dqy of his approval or disapproval of the work. In your letter you write, "I may have not clearly stated at the time that you have a remaining code violation. " With all due respect, you never notified me of this latest alleged code violation until your letter of December 20, 2006. In fact, instead of notifying me of your concern, you chose to contact Mr. Richard Paris, an investigator at the Office of State Investigations. Clearly, contacting Mr. Paris is not what state law requires of you for an alleged code violation prior to giving me written notice of the alleged violation. As such, and for the reasons stated herein, I do not intend to appeal your latest decision at this time. I - .0 With the procedural aspects of your latest concern set aside, I would like to point out two of my concerns in this matter. First and foremost, you have already handed the situation at 27 Hewitt Ave. over to the Office of Investigations and I am reluctant to interfere with the investigation process. Second, under your own admission, you have instructed others, who are not licensed electricians, to do work on my permit, as such, I am hesitant to do any other work at 27 Hewitt Ave. Regarding the alleged c6de violatibt'n', the supplemental grounding electrode conductor is directly connected to the grounding electrode condtictor as permitted under 250.53 (d)(2). Said article does not state that the connection of these two grounding conductors must be connected at the mai n disconnect as you state in your letter. In closing, where this matter is under investigation, I respectfully request that you do not contact me any ftu-ther in regards to 27 Hewitt Ave. until the investigation is complete.

Upon my arrival shortly after 10:00 AM, I was directed to a 4160 -volt load center located outside, at the northwest corner of the main manufacturing building. At that point I was told that there were injuries to two contractors taken to Boston Hospitals. The accident happened due to an electrical explosion at the rear of the 4160 -volt switch cabin6t while working on the outside load center that morning at about 7:30 AM. When I arrived Mr. Bartley, (Ozzy Properties) was accompanied by two OSHA Inspectors carrying out an independent Accident Investigatio at the accident site. They were neg al c=lete at that time and in charge of the, investigation. The head OSHA compliance officer was Alan Burbank office in Methuen, MA. (617 565 8110). I left the property with the OSHA officers about I 1:00AM, at that time the accident was still under investigation.
