At long last my wife is getting her new kitchen and the contractor will be running 10 or so new circuits from a new sub panel. The sub panel, unfortunately, is on an outside wall around 35 feet from the kitchen. The wiring will have to go down the wall, into the crawlspace under the house, and over closer to the kitchen area.
I haven't been able to speak with the contractor's electrician yet. Is it reasonable to think the electrician may decide to run the multiple circuits--correctly derated and upsized as necessary--in 2 or 3 conduits from the sub panel to a junction box near the kitchen area, with the individual circuits branching out from there? And in this case would each branch circuit have its ground wire connected at the junction box, not all the way back at the sub panel?
If so, my question is: should each of the conduits contain an appropriately sized ground wire to the sub panel, or is just a single ground wire allowed, based on the highest-amperage circuit. I googled but was unable to find a specific answer.
I know I may be missing other ways this wiring may be done. I'm willing to be enlightened.
