Someone I know is constructing a garage and undergrounding the service at the same time.
The utility is allowing him to put the meter on a secondary pedestal and run a service to his house and a service to his garage both from the pedestal with separate disconnects and panels at house and garage.
the inspector rejected his installation. saying that per 250.32B and 215.6 a 4-wire service is required to a detached garage and required him to run a neutral from his house to his garage.
I know the code allows you to reground a neutral at a separate building with a grounding electrode system, but this seems ridiculous to me since it is a separate service.
.
has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks
