Friends:<br>
<br>
Please help us settle a crew debate before we come to blows: for circuits 250 volts and higher, do we need to bond EMT at both ends? Or, if there is bonded cabinet with a concentric on one end and a solid, bonded metal cabinet on the other, do we need a bonding bushing on the concentric end?<br>
<br>
I say a conduit needs to be bonded only on one end. My misguided employee says both ends. Both cabinets are independently bonded.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
William<br>
