I am trying to some help in the requirements for bonding GEC installed in metallic conduit. Two questions: 1) Does the bonding have to occur where the GEC enters a metallic panelboard or xmfr or is the ground buss bonded to the panelboard acceptable? 2) Where the bonding occurs can a jumper of smaller size be used? Please provide a reference I can refer to as I don't see the code being clear on this.
Thanks in advance

Bond at each end using service bonding methods. At the panel use a bonding locknut or bushing.
Size of bonding jumper is same as GEC.
Code is clear if you understand why you are bonding.
Do you have to run in emt? run in PVC if possible.

Thanks for the prompt response Tom. After researching further through the NEC handbook, I now see what is required.
Thanks again
