If it does abide by NEC standards maybe it's because the wiring is inclosed in a control cabinet.
Looking at the print, it still confuses me what they are connecting to. I see the number 2 (X2, neutral) but I also see the ground sysmbol. Is the print saying it's connected to both the ground (metal backplate, metal inclosure) and X2?
Let me try my best to explain what both Bruce and I are trying to say.
Let me use a home with a un-attached garage as an example. The NEC says a seperately derived system is to be bonded (neutral to ground) either at the transformer or the main disconnect switch. In my home the main is in the circuit panel so this is where my system is bonded. Meaning there is a green screw that goes through the neutral bar and screws right into the metal panel.
So now I want to run power out to my garage. I want to put a 60 amp panel out there. So I run 2 hots, a ground and a neutral out there. I put my panel in and I screw another green screw through the neutral bar to the metal panel. Oops, NEC told me to ONLY bond my system at either the transformer or the main serice disconnect. So now my big Oops just created what some call parallel paths. The current can now flow through the neutral AND the grounding conductor. Say now someone is out digging one day and almost hits the feeders but just hits the neutral and chops it in half. Or you just loose the neutral for one reason or another. You don't it's been cut, lights out in the garage still works.. everything must be fine. Guess what.. now ALL the current is returning through the grounding conductor or metal pipes back to the service. Still no problem until the poor sucker that takes the conduit appart that feeds the 3-way switch between the garage and the house. As the homeowner, I would start praying that you didn't kill the poor guy.
Ron, this may be a poor example but it is a problem if you ground a system in more than 1 place.
Please, no offense Ron..
