JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Except as permitted in 250.30(A)(1), 250.32(B)(1), Exception No. 1, and Part X of Article 250, a grounded circuit conductor shall not be connected to non-current-carrying metal parts of equipment on the load side of the service disconnecting means or on the load side of a separately derived system disconnecting means or the overcurrent devices for a separately derived system not having a main disconnecting means.
Exception No. 1: The frames of ranges, wall-mounted ovens, countermounted cooking units, and clothes dryers under the conditions permitted for existing installations by 250.140 shall be permitted to be connected to the grounded circuit conductor.
Exception No. 2: It shall be permissible to connect meter enclosures to the grounded circuit conductor on the load side of the service disconnect if all of the following conditions apply:
- Ground-fault protection of equipment is not installed.
- All meter enclosures are located immediately adjacent to the service disconnecting means.
- The size of the grounded circuit conductor is not smaller than the size specified in Table 250.122 for equipment grounding conductors.
