Generally, when using PVC conduit you should also run a ground wire.

No, an equipment grounding conductor is not required in PVC conduit because PVC is non-conductive and does not provide a path for electrical fault currents to flow. However, it may still be required by code depending on the specific application and local regulations. It's always best to consult with a qualified electrician or local building code official for guidance.
