Actually, there is no requirement that the ground be bare -- but there
IS a requirement that if it is insulated it must be green (or taped
green at exposed points). In many jurisdictions, electrical codes allow
properly installed steel conduit to substitute for a dedicated green
wire. Some jurisdictions require steel conduit PLUS a green wire.
Isolated ground systems REQUIRE a green wire to each outlet.
Otherwise Lee's post is right on target.
