Green or green with yellow stripe(s) are used as color codes for EGC. Green colored or hexagon shaped terminal “G” is used for equipment grounding conductor (EGC) in receptacles and cords. The EGC terminal is labeled as “G,” “GR,” “GRN,”, “GRND” or “⏚” mark in accordance with NEC – 250.126 and 406.9(B).

The International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code), adopted by resolution MSC.5 (48), has been mandatory under SOLAS chapter VII since 1 July 1986.

Jul 1, 2000 · You use an equipment-grounding conductor (EGC) to ground the noncurrent-carrying metal parts of equipment. Its function is to keep your equipment as close as possible to ground potential and provide a safe path for ground-fault current to flow. A …

An equipment grounding conductor (EGC) is sized differently than a grounding electrode conductor (GEC). EGC’s are sized from Table 250.122 based on the size of the overcurrent device ahead of the circuit.

Mar 2, 2021 · If you turn to Section 250.122 in the 2020 NEC, you find information that has been helping electricians to size equipment grounding conductors (EGC) for longer than most electricians have been pulling wire.

Feb 6, 2017 · Code for the Construction Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (GC Code) (1983) This Code was developed to provide an international standard for the safe carriage by sea in bulk of liquefied gases and certain other substances.

The International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk, often referred and abbreviated as the IGC Code, is the International Maritime Organization (IMO) standard concerning the cargo carriage of liquefied gases in maritime transport.

Mar 14, 2025 · Welcome back to lucky number 13 in this series about fostering a better understanding of Article 250 on grounding and bonding in the National Electrical Code.Let’s wrap up our discussion on the equipment grounding conductor (EGC), focusing on some unique situations that apply in Part VII of Article 250.

According to the definition in Article 100, an Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC) is the conductive path(s) that provides a ground-fault current path and connects normally non–current-carrying metal parts of equipment together and to the system grounded conductor or to the grounding electrode conductor, or both.
