Re: Mobile Home Grounding
The answer to that question ( atleast in the 1999 NEC ) is covered in 550-11(b) and 550-11(c) for the first part to ensure it is bonded and then it allows the CATV bonding requirements to kick in as listed below.
I am not sure about the 2002 or 2005 as we are still working in the 1999 here in VA but the information is covered in those articles listd above.
"It also insists that the frames among other things SHALL BE effectivly bonded to the grounding terminal or enclosure of the distribution panelboard."
The most directive application of this is in the 550-11(c) ruling.
Now..in regard to CATV....check out article 820-42 as well as refers to 820-40(a)(2)(3)
Not sure this assists.....but figured I would post anyway.
In the 1999 NEC i read it as not having to be to the frame..since the in the first article provides the proper ground and bonding I dont think it is needed to attach to frame for the ground to CATV..UNLESS no attachment is made or it is the closest to BOND as listed in 820-42(b).
