Ground wire question

[robertearl]

I will be running my electircal in EMC. One conduit will contain more than one circuit. Can the two circuits share a common ground wire or do I need to run a separate ground for each circuit????

Electrical metallic conduit

As long as its sized for the largest circuit. Its one of the advantages of piped wiring. Some dont even need ground wire, the pipe may be sufficient.

it's usually EMT electrical metallic tubing or IMC, intermediate metallic conduit

I think he is talking about the neutral wire.

A lot of guys confuse ground and neutral.

A lot of guys confuse ground and neutral.

The ones that do, probably shouldn't be doing any wiring

No I was talking about the ground wire. Thanks guys.
