Re: Bonding meter can

Robbie, there is a path to ground which creates the biggest hazard in your scenario.
All though the graphic below is not directly addressing a lost neutral at the service equipment, the results would basically be the same.
Back to the original point, see the picture below for the GEC landed in the meter, which I believe is the best method.
Admitedly, the GEC could be landed in the Panel or Switch and have the same results, but seeing how the GEC's main function is to help disperse surges and Lightning, I like to see it outside the building.
