2022年12月3日 · The neutral conductor between the meter and the panel is allowed to bond the various grounding electrodes together. The NEC allows for any grounding electrode to be connected to the grounding electrode system via the meter socket enclosure. In the past we would always install the one or two ground rods directly to the meter socket enclosure.

2021年5月13日 · Yes you need a separate bonding conductor to bond the meter base unless you're using EMT between the meter base and disconnects. I'm assuming your neutral in the meter base is isolated.

2024年12月22日 · With the neutral bonded at the meter can and service panel while utilizing metallic conduit between the meter and service panel you set up a parallel path for neutral current. Is it a problem based on the short distance and low neutral current associated with a 100 amp residential service, but something to think about?

2019年11月11日 · Instead, the use of bonding wires connected to gas lines as they come out of the meter provides a code-friendly option to help prevent shorts and sparks. When to Bond Lines As mentioned, gas lines are bonded when there is a risk that a current might connect to the metal pipe used in the line.

2013年2月18日 · Here are two scenarios: 1) Install system grounding conductor in meter base by running insulated copper wire from meter base to ground rods (or ground plate) and bond to system neutral on service side of meter base. From the meter base run 2 black and one white to combination panel with main disconnect.

2009年3月13日 · The meter box itself is bonded at the supplied bonding screw though. The meter tech tells us basically what other people here our saying. They never want to meter itself going to ground in the meter base etc. I was just wondering if other guys/POCOs use isolated neutrals? I know any old meter base I have looked in doesn't have an isolated neutral.

2019年5月21日 · It is bonded on the load side of the gas meter and there should be a dielectric fitting between the meter an the pipes. The power company needs to leave i alone assuming there is a dielectric fitting. Why does the power company get involved in this anyway.

2012年3月23日 · Just wondering if anyone out there doing residential work and if you bond your meter socket? Or does most meter sockets have a connection from the N point to the enclosure to do achieve this?

2018年5月4日 · I'm installing a single 200A meter base on my own house... Microelectric BS2-TCVBC-RT. Its the combination overhead/underground unit. Supposed to be the right BC Hydro approved can. Problem I'm running into is the lone attachment screw securing the double/pass-thru neutral lug is also bonding...
