> The EGC/ground is a safety measure that creates a ground fault current path which enables overcurrent protective devices (like breakers and fuses) to operate.

This is NOT TRUE!! You've said it so many times in this thread, and it's just not true.

A lot of people are tying to correct your mistakes, but you're not fixing them. Please do so, you are misleading a lot of people.

Perhaps you could explain it correctly?

You can trip a breaker without the ground wire being involved. The ground wire does help with one failure case, but that's not the only way that your circuit breakers/fuses protect you.
