Grounding and Bonding takes the service conductors, the electrodes present at the building and how the GEC runs, and gives back the main bonding jumper and the GEC to each electrode, with the 2023 NEC section for every answer and a drawing.
The drawing the Suite wrote for a 4/0 AWG aluminum service with a water pipe, a footing and ground rods: each conductor numbered, and each number answered underneath.
The report the Suite wrote for this example: the inputs and the worked-out answers, then the drawing on its own page.
Page 1 lists every input and the answers with their sections; page 2 finishes the common violations; page 3 is the drawing with the answers, checks and violations.
The phone app's example job, Example - 200 A service, opened with Open phone job… and worked out by the Suite.
STEP 1 OF 6The example in, before it is worked out: 4/0 AWG aluminum service, water pipe, footing and two or more rods, copper GEC run outside.
STEP 2 OF 6Worked out: main bonding jumper 4 AWG Cu (or 2 AWG Al); GEC 4 AWG Cu to the water pipe and footing, 6 AWG Cu to the rods.
STEP 3 OF 6How it was worked out: each answer with its 2023 NEC section, the GEC installation rules, the checks and the common violations.
STEP 4 OF 6The drawing in the tool: water pipe, footing and rods 6 ft or more apart, each GEC numbered from the panel.
STEP 5 OF 6The answers under the drawing, numbered to match it, ending with 4 AWG Cu (or 2 AWG Al) to bond the interior water piping.
STEP 6 OF 6GEC installation, the checks (water pipe supplemented, rod clamps listed for direct burial) and the common violations.
