When complying with the requirements of Article 250, Grounding and Bonding, often we can get confused as to who, what, when, and where. Since the 2014 National Electric Code, sizing grounding conductors became a little bit more simplified, in my opinion, just by adding one new Table.

Some older rules effected dryer and range branch circuits, including air conditioning condensing units, where type SE cable with aluminum conductors was the preferred wiring method.
