When stranded conductor is being used for earthing, It offers some reactance in addition to the resistance of the conductor. Since any kind of surge is of sudden in nature, and reactance opposes the change in flow of current (Property of Inductor), It might disturb the discharge rate of the surge. Hence the conductor is flat inorder to provide only the resistance

NO some armored cable has a ground some sealtite has copper in the helix wit the drain shield some liquite has no conduction at all all armor is a helix which is a coil and acts as insulation at hi frequency xlpe cross linked polyethylene is an insulator service cable is never used for grounding grounding electrode conductor grounding equipment conductor grounding conductor are all separate from service cables if a tall trucks hits an overhead cable you dont want to lose the ground in short NO

The continuity of a grounded conductor should not depend on a connection that is subject to disconnection, such as a plug or terminal connection. Instead, it should rely on a continuous path that ensures effective grounding, typically achieved through a solid and permanent connection to the grounding system. This ensures that the grounding system remains intact and effective for safety and fault protection, regardless of any removable connections.
An earth tag washer is used in electrical installations to ensure a secure and reliable connection between the grounding conductor and the grounding electrode. It provides a stable surface for the connection and helps prevent corrosion, ensuring effective grounding and safety. Additionally, it helps distribute mechanical stress and improves the electrical continuity of the grounding system.
The grounding electrode conductor size chart provides information on the recommended size of the conductor based on the type of grounding electrode and the size of the service entrance conductor.
The grounding conductor is green, green with a yellow tracer or bare copper.
The equipment grounding conductor table provides information about the size of the grounding conductor needed based on the type and size of the electrical equipment being used.

The grounding conductor size chart provides information on the recommended size of the grounding conductor based on the type of electrical system and the maximum fault current that could occur.
The equipment grounding conductor size chart provides information on the recommended size of the grounding conductor based on the type and size of the electrical equipment being used. This helps ensure proper grounding and safety in electrical systems.
The equipment grounding conductor chart provides information about the size of the conductor needed to safely ground electrical equipment based on the current rating of the circuit.
The recommended grounding conductor size for a residential electrical system is typically 6 AWG copper wire.
Grounded conductor is white 120/240 volt & gray 480 volt. Grounding conductor is green or green with yellow.

The grounded conductor (Neutral) can be white or gray. The grounding conductor can be solid green, Green with a yellow tracer or bare copper.
Earth is like a very large CONDUCTOR. That is how grounding occurs.
