Re: Single-end ground for MC cable in dedlicated lines

The NEC requires that metal conduit or armored cable be bonded to ground at both ends in order to (quickly) pass fault current. In a situation where you have a ground conductor within metal conduit/armor that is grounded at only one end, that conduit/armor becomes a choke to fault current that will impede its flow.
