Electric main feed line

[electronman1729]

I thought the smallest grounding conductor according to NEC that could be used has to be at least #4 AWG?

I dont have a fish tape. It is roughly 115 feet. I may call the electrician again and see if they have on I can borrow. There aren't a lot of plàces to pick up electrical supplies around here.

see below for advice. I tried to pull wire with something other than f/tape. in the long run it was worth the time & money to drive down the road for the correct tool. Especially If what you're using breaks 1/2 way between here and there.

Go buy a 250 ft. X 1/4" fish tape it will be worth it in labor and back aches trying to pull out and then re-pull the feed back in.
If the fish tape stops, you can see-saw the wire back & forth while pushing on the tape to get it through.

but if you decide to just pull out the feed and re-pull it back in with the ground, pick up a couple gallons of wire lube & lube the wire as it goes back in the conduit, it will ease the pulling effort.

If it were me and I needed to pull it all out, I'd be thinking about blowing in pull strings or at least putting some in with the new pull. Although 125' shouldn't be any trouble with a fish tape.

But I'm not an electrician, only had to do some telco and lan cabling back in the day.

I decided to pull it out with a rope attached and it worked with some struggles. I couldn't get a fish tape until today, so I decided to give it a try.

Next question is, what circuits do I need Arc Interrupter breakers on? He told me the laundry room even though they are all gfi plugs. Would I need them in the baths and kitchen as well? At $38 each, I don't want to buy a bunch of them.

Bathrooms no. Kitchens need to be both gfci and arc fault on most of the circuits. I don't have my code book in front of me to tell you which ones.

Pretty sure all my bedrooms are Arc faults.
