Solidly Grounded

The term “solidly grounded” was contained in 230.95, but it was relocated to Article 100 because it’s used in at least eleven articles.
Grounded, Solidly.The intentional electrical connection of one system terminal to ground.
Author’s Comment: In reality, solidly grounded means the bonding of the system to the metal case of the derived system in accordance with 250.30(A)(1). Figure 100-4

  • With the concerns regarding grounding, I continue to be puzzled why some contractors continue to use the Arlington snap in connectors, and inspectors allow them. They do not tighten and the NEC and common sense says that all locknuts, screws, etc. must be tight. The potential for fire, shocks, electrocution, product liability lawsuits by aggressive lawyers is huge. I will welcome any comments for or against these products.
