Okay, I know a lot of you guys on this forum were around when Washington
was president. And some you may have had grandfather who wire it.
TOPIC
The house has an attach garage, on which an over service drop is
attach to it, by the local power company. An SE-U cable run along
the exterior wall, and right into the top of a Meter Socket, (connects to
the line side). Next the SE-U cable leave the Meter Socket, (connected
to the Load Side), and enter into the home owner garage. Inisde is single,
electrical box, with a 2-pole circuit breaker, rated at 100 amps. NO
grounding electrode wire is attach to the Neutral at this location.
The SE-U cable leaves this electrical box, with the 2-pole 100 amp. breaker,
and continues into the house basement.
There this SE-U cable connects to a Electrical Panel, XO Culter Hammer
circuit breaker panel box.
Here at this Circuit Breaker Panel box, which does not have a main breaker,
is really only a Main Lug Panel. The grounding electrode conductor enters
this panel box, and connect to the Neutral bus bar at this location.
All grounds and grounded wires are connected at the Neutral/Grounded
bus bar.
This house was built and wired around 1954.
Could this have a common practice back then?
And would the NEC code still allow this practice.
THANKS
