The recessed fluorescent luminaires installed in the ceiling of the recreation room of this residence are connected with trade size 3/8 flexible metal conduit. These flexible connections are commonly referred to as fixture whips. Does the flexible metal conduit provide adequate grounding for the luminaires, or must a separate equipment grounding conductor be installed?

Hey! The flexible metal conduit, also known as fixture whips, typically provides grounding for the luminaires. The metal conduit itself can act as the equipment grounding conductor, so you usually don't need a separate grounding conductor. This setup helps ensure the safety of the electrical system.
