Hello,
Am I right in my head?
Two separate buildings (cottages).
There is a cottage (A), it has the service over head to it. The service has two seu's down to two meters on cottage (A).
Cottage (A) has a meter then goes into the cottage (A) (guessing main breaker panel).
On cottage (A) there's also a meter to a 100 amp disconnect (breaker). That 100 amp disconnect (breaker) feeds cottage (B). There are four conductors in a underground conduit feeding cottage (B) (those conductors are in plumbing pvc but thats something else.)
I didn't see any ground rods for cottage (A) and theres one rod for the cottage (B) disconnect (breaker).
The cottage (A) has water pipe (it's under a hatch which I couldn't get to, not sure if it has ground to (A) panel, but sure there's no ground to (B) disconnect from opening (B) disconnect)
Would I be correct to see it as, even though cottage (B) has nothing to do with cottage (A) except for the mounting of it's equipment and first over current protection, that BOTH cottage (A) main breaker panel and cottage (B) main breaker disconnect would need to be bonded to ground rod(s) at cottage (A) AND cottage (A) water meter ground electrode ? Then "at" cottage (B), the egc at that panel would get bonded to the water system at cottage (B) and ground rod(s) at cottage (B) with the neutral floating.
Confirming, Thank you.
