Chapter 18, Problem 24R
A Type NM cable carries a branch circuit to the outside of a building, where it terminates in a metal weatherproof junction box. From this box, a short length of EMT is installed upward to another metal weatherproof junction box on which is attached a cluster of outdoor floodlights. The first box is located approximately 24 in. (600 mm) above the ground. To “Meet Code,” do the metal boxes and metal raceway have to be grounded? Yes _______________ No _______________ NEC _______________.
